1 All in Thy hands I leave, dear Lord,
All of life’s daily fret and sting,
All of my griefs whate’er they are,
This to my soul sweet peace doth bring.

Refrain:
All in Thy hands like a glad refrain,
Cometh the promise so sweet,
“Bring me Thy burden, I will sustain,
Give to Thee strength complete.”

2 All in Thy hands each hour, each day,
Whether cares may be great or small,
Jesus, dear Lord, I lean on Thee,
Thou art my refuge and my all. [Refrain]

3 All in Thy hands my Lord and King,
All of life’s sorrow, toil and pain,
All of my cares I bring to Thee,
Thy love my soul will e’er sustain. [Refrain]

4 All in Thy hands O rich reward,
Peace and joy it doth bring to me
Daily I rest in Thee, dear Lord,
Daily I’m leaning more on Thee. [Refrain]
