He Who gave thee life and breath:
In His keeping fear no evil
Now or in the hour of death.Pleasantly thy lines have fallen
Underneath the tree of life:

Here the swallow finds a nest;
Trembling fugitive a refuge,
And the weary pilgrim rest.Faith and love are the conditions;
All on faith and love depends;
Love of law is the fulfillment,
Faith God’s mercy apprehends;
Who hath faith shall see salvation,
Who hath love shall life obtain.

And Thy Spirit in us reign.And upon this blest foundation,
Lord, our Lord and Savior King,

Thy sweet forgiving love.Father, in me reveal Thy Son,
And to my inmost soul make known
How merciful Thou art;
The secret of Thy love reveal,
And by Thy hallowing Spirit dwell
Forever in my heart,
Forever in my heart!If now the Witness were in me,
Would He not testify of Thee,
In Jesus reconciled?
And should I not with faith draw nigh,
And boldly, “Abba, Father,” cry,
And know myself Thy child,
And know myself Thy child?Play source: Cyberhymnal
