LyicsMY God, my Father--blissful name--
O may I call Thee mine?
May I with sweet assurance claim
A portion so divine?
This only can my fears control,
And bid my sorrows fly;
What harm can ever reach my soul
Beneath my Father's eye?
Whate'er Thy providence denies,
I calmly would resign;
For Thou art good, and just, and wise;
O bend my will to Thine!
Whate'er Thy sacred will ordains,
O give me strength to bear;
And let me know my Father reigns,
And trust His tender care.
