My God, My hope, If thou Art Mine

LYRIC

Print

1 My God, my hope! if thou art mine,
Why should my soul with sorrow pine?
On thee alone I cast my care:
O leave me not in dark despair.

2 Though ev’ry comfort should depart,
And life forsake this drooping heart;
One smile from thee, one blissful ray,
Can chase the shades of death away.

3 My God, my Life! if thou appear,
Not death itself can make me fear.
Thy presence cheers the sable gloom,
And gilds the horrors of the tomb.

4 Not all its horrors can affright,
If thou appear, my God, my light!
Thy love shall all my fears control,
And glory dawn around my soul.

      My God, My hope, If thou Art Mine

      1 My God, my hope! if thou art mine,
      Why should my soul with sorrow pine?
      On thee alone I cast my care:
      O leave me not in dark despair.

      2 Though ev’ry comfort should depart,
      And life forsake this drooping heart;
      One smile from thee, one blissful ray,
      Can chase the shades of death away.

      3 My God, my Life! if thou appear,
      Not death itself can make me fear.
      Thy presence cheers the sable gloom,
      And gilds the horrors of the tomb.

      4 Not all its horrors can affright,
      If thou appear, my God, my light!
      Thy love shall all my fears control,
      And glory dawn around my soul.
