LyicsO THOU, my light, my life, my joy,
My glory and my all!
Unsent by thee, no good can come,
Nor evil can befall.
Such are thy schemes of providence,
And methods of thy grace,
That I may safely trust in thee
Through all this wilderness.
'Tis thine outstretched and powerful arm
Upholds me in the way;
And thy rich bounty well supplies
The wants of every day.
For such compassion, O my God,
Ten thousand thanks are due;
For such compassion I esteem
Ten thousand thanks too few.
