In Thee, Lord, Have I Put My Trust

Author: Adam Reissner; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust, Leave me not helpless in the dust, Let not my hope be brought to shame, But still sustain, through want and pain, My faith that Thou art aye the same. 2. Incline a gracious ear to me, And hear the prayers I raise to Thee, Show forth Thy power and haste to save! For woes and fear surround me here, Oh swiftly send the help I crave! 3. My God and Shield, now let Thy power Be unto me a mighty tower, Whence I may freely, bravely fight Against the foes that round me close For fierce are they and great their might. 4. Thy Word hath said, Thou art my Rock, The Stronghold that can fear no shock, My help, my safety, and my life, Howe’er distress and dangers press; What then shall daunt me in the strife? 5. The world for me hath falsely set Full many a secret snare and net, Dark lies, delusions sweet and vain; Lord, hear my prayers, and break these snares, And make my path before me plain. 6. With Thee, Lord, would I cast my lot; My God, my God, forsake me not, O faithful God, for I commend My soul to Thee; deliver me Both now, and when this life must end.

Perrigo Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: "Give me thy heart," the sweet words fall Lyrics: 1 "Give me thy heart," the sweet words fall Like whispered music on the ear; "Give me thy heart," the pleading call Floats like a harp-note soft and clear. "Give me thy heart," "Give me thy heart." 2 And when the noontide scatters ’round, Its golden tints, its richest hues, Then, then is heard the self-same sound, "Give me thy heart," do not refuse. "Give me thy heart," "Give me thy heart." 3 O, ’tis the Lord who speaks to thee So kindly. Canst thou from Him stay? He woos thee yet more tenderly, "Give me thy heart," without delay. 4 Give God thy heart, be His alone; Love, work and watch and strive and pray That when His will in thee is done, That heart already His, shall say—" "Take Thou Thine own," "Take Thou Thine own.
