How Do Thy Mercies Close Me Round!
For Ever Be Thy Name Adored!
I Blush In All Things To Abound;
The Servant Is Above His Lord!
Inured To Poverty And Pain,
A Suffering Life My Master Led;
The Son Of God, The Son Of Man,
He Had Not Where To Lay His Head.
But Lo! A Place He Hath Prepared
For Me, Whom Watchful Angels Keep;
Yea, He Himself Becomes My Guard,
He Smooths My Bed, And Gives Me Sleep.
Jesus Protects; My Fears, Be Gone!
What Can The Rock Of Ages Move?
Safe In Thy Arms I Lay Me Down,
Thy Everlasting Arms Of Love.
While Thou Art Intimately Nigh,
Who, Who Shall Violate My Rest?
Sin, Earth, And Hell I Now Defy;
I Lean Upon My Saviour’s Breast.
I Rest Beneath The Almighty’s Shade,
My Griefs Expire, My Troubles Cease:
Thou, Lord, On Whom My Soul Is Stayed,
Wilt Keep Me Still In Perfect Peace.
Me For Thine Own Thou Lov’st To Take,
In Time And In Eternity;
Thou Never, Never Wilt Forsake
A Helpless Worm That Trusts In Thee.
