LyicsWHILE Thee I seek, protecting Pow'r,
Be my vain wishes still'd;
And may this consecrated hour
With better hopes be fill'd.
In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see!
Each blessing to my soul more dear,
Because conferr'd by Thee.
In every joy that crowns my days,
In every pain I bear,
My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in pray'r.
My lifted eye, without a tear,
The gath'ring storm shall see;
My steadfast heart shall banish fear;
That heart shall rest on Thee.
