LyicsIn thee, O Lord, I put my trust,
Thou art my portion and my song;
Thy ways, with me, are always just,
But mine, with thee, are often wrong.
I can not do the things I would,
For sin is in my flesh concealed;
So evil takes the place of good,
And all my weakness stands revealed.
But thou, O Lord, can'st make me clean,
And give me strength to do the right;
While on thy promises I lean,
All darkness changes into light.
O give me grace the wrong to shun,
The right to follow all my days,
And when life's victory is won,
Then will I give thee all the praise.
