  1. 1O Lord, I would delight in Thee,
  2. And on Thy care depend;
  3. To Thee in every trouble flee.
  4. My best, my only Friend.
  5. 2When all created streams are dried,
  6. Thy fulness is the same;
  7. May I with this be satisfied,
  8. And glory in Thy Name.
  9. 3No good in creatures can be found,
  10. But may be found in Thee;
  11. I must have all things, and abound,
  12. While God is God to me.
  13. 4O that I had a stronger faith,
  14. To look within the veil!
  15. To credit what my Saviour saith,
  16. Whose word can never fail!
  17. 5He that has made my heaven secure,
  18. Will here all good provide;
  19. While Christ is rich, can I be poor?
  20. What can I want beside?
  21. 6O Lord, I cast my care on Thee;
  22. I triumph and adore:
  23. Henceforth my great concern shall be
  24. To love and please Thee more.
  25. 7Amen.
