When in the night I meditate, On mercies multiplied, My grateful heart inspires my tongue To bless the Lord, my Guide. Forever in my thought the Lord Before my face shall stand, Secure, unmoved, I shall remain, With Him at my right hand. My inmost being thrills with joy And gladness fills my breast; Because on Him my trust is stayed, My flesh in hope shall rest. I know that I shall not be left Forgotten in the grave, And from corruption, Thou, O Lord, Thy holy one wilt save. The path of life Thou showest me; Of joy a boundless store Is ever found at Thy right hand, And pleasures evermore.
