Lyrics

In Thee, O Spir­it, true and ten­der,
I find my life as God’s own child;
Within Thy light of glo­ri­ous splen­dor
I lose the earth-clouds drear and wild.

Within Thy love is safe abid­ing
From ev­ery thought that giv­eth fear;
Within Thy truth a per­fect chid­ing,
Should I for­get that Thou art near.

In Thee I have no pain or sor­row,
No anx­ious thought, no load of care.
Thou art the same to­day, to­mor­row;
Thy love and truth are ev­ery­where.
