“THY HANDS HAVE MADE ME AND FASHIONED ME.”

Psalm cxix. 73.

From Thee, my God, from Thee
My comforts come. 'Tis sweet to be
Fed and supported by Thy hand.
Thine is the air I breathe, the earth on which I stand.
156

This worthless life of mine,
It is the care of Love Divine.
Those watchful eyes that never sleep,
Guard all my path, and my defenceless slumbers keep.
By Thy safe guidance led,
In Duty's quiet course I tread;
And while Thy wise designs I wait,
The rugged path grows smooth, the crooked places straight.
To Thee I yield my soul:
Oh, let Thy Spirit's sweet control
Rule every impulse of my heart,
And to my spirit, Lord, the life of life impart.
I hang upon Thy power;
I need Thy mercy hour by hour.
On Thee, I feel, and joy to feel,
Depends my daily peace, my everlasting weal.
157

Ah yes, I am but dust;
But Thou, O God, art all my trust.
Nought can from Thee my soul divide,
Since that dear Saviour lives, who once for sinners died.
