Lord Jesus, Thou dost keep Thy child
58
8.8.6.
1 Lord Jesus, Thou dost keep Thy child
Through sunshine, or through tempests wild;
Jesus, I trust in Thee!
Thine is such wondrous power to save,
Thine is the mighty love that gave
It’s all on Calvary.
2 O glorious saviour, Thee I praise;
To Thee my new glad song I raise,
And tell of what Thou art,
Thy grace is boundless in its store;
Thy face of love shines evermore;
Thou givest me Thy heart.
3 Upon Thy promises I stand,
Trusting in Thee; Thine own right hand
Doth keep and comfort me!
My soul doth triumph in Thy Word:
Thine, Thine be all the praise, dear Lord,
As Thine the victory.
4 Love perfecteth what it begins:
Rhy power doth save me from my sins
Thy grace upholdeth me.
This life of trust-how glad, how sweet,
My need and Thy great fullness meet!
And I have all in Thee.
