Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #258 (1927) Lyrics: 1 I sing to Thee with voice and heart,
Of all my joys the well;
I sing, that, what I know Thou art,
My lips to all may tell;
That Thou a fountain art of grace,
With blessings richly stored
For all, in every time and place,
This well I know, O Lord.
2 Cheer up, faint heart, rejoice and sing,
All anxious fear resign;
For God, the sovereign Lord and King,
Is thy God, even thine:
He is thy portion, He thy joy,
Thy life, and light, and Lord;
Thy counsellor when doubts annoy,
Thy shield and great reward.
3 In restless tho'ts or dark despair
Why spend the day and night?
On Him who loves thee cast thy care;
He makes our burdens light:
Did not His love, and truth, and pow'r
Watch o'er thy childhood's day?
Hath He not oft, in threat'ning hour,
Turn'd dreaded ills away!
4 His wisdom never plans in vain,
Ne'er falters, or mistakes;
All that His counsels wise ordain
A happy ending makes:
Upon thy mouth, then, lay thy hand,
And trust His guiding eye;
Thus, firm as rock, thy feet shall stand,
Now and eternally. Topics: Spiritual Songs Praise Languages: English Tune Title: [I sing to Thee with voice and heart]
