Select Hymns ‎#2

2. One Thing I Can Do

1. I thank thee, Lord, that I can cast
My burdens all on thee;
Tho’ I be tempted, thou has died
To bear them all for me.

Refrain:
O Jesus, I will cling to thee,
I’ll love thee more and more;
I’ll place my trembling hand in thine
Until the battle’s o’er.

2. Tho’ tried and pressed, yet I will trust,
This one thing I can do;
I’ll lean upon thy loving breast,
Thou’lt guide me safely thro’.

3. Tho’ raging storms about me sweep,
And fiery billows roll,
To thee, dear Lord, I humbly trust
The keeping of my soul.
