The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3094

3094. Into Thine Hand, O God of Truth

1. Into Thine hand, O God of truth,
My spirit I commit;
Thou hast redeemed my soul from death,
And saved me from the pit.

2. The passions of my hope and fear
Maintained a doubtful strife,
While sorrow, pain, and sin conspired
To take away my life.

3. My times are in Thine hand, I cried,
Though I draw near the dust;
Thou art the refuge where I hide,
The God in whom I trust.

4. O make Thy reconcilèd face
Upon Thy servant shine,
And save me for Thy mercy’s sake,
For I’m entirely Thine.

5. ’Twas in my haste my spirit said,
I must despair and die,
I am cut off before Thine eyes;
But Thou hast heard my cry.

6. Thy goodness how divinely free!
How wondrous is Thy grace
To those that fear Thy majesty,
And trust Thy promises!

7. O love the Lord, all ye His saints,
And sing His praises loud;
He’ll bend His ear to your complaints,
And recompense the proud.
