10. To Thee my Spirit turns

1 To Thee, O blessed Saviour,
My spirit turns for rest;
My peace is in Thy favour,
My pillow on Thy breast.

2 In Thee my trust abideth,
On Thee my hope relies,
O Thou whose love provideth
For all beneath the skies.

3 My grief is in the dulness
With which this sluggish heart
Doth open to the fulness
Of all Thou wouldst impart.

4 My joy is in Thy beauty
Of holiness divine;
My comfort in thy duty
That binds my life to Thine.

5 Give me a heart to love Thee
More truly as I ought,
And nothing place above Thee
In deed, or word, or thought.

6 Oh for that choicest blessing
Of living in Thy love,
And thus on earth possessing
The peace of heaven above!
