Hymn 177

I place myself in jesus' hands, and there i'd stay forever.
No grief nor joy shall loose these bands, nor this our union sever.
Were all the world to chaos hurled, he'd keep us securely ever.

However he may deal with me, what e're he wills shall please me.
By faith his will, my will shall be i know that he will bless me.
Whatever he may will shall be and his care will e're possess me.

In midst of life's most trying woes, i joy in his care ever
I know whatever ways he goes, they're wondrous ways forever.
What ill may seem, he well doth mean my enemy he's never been.
What ill may seem, he well doth mean in love he chastens ever.

And thus my faith secure shall stand, upon this promise ever.
No one shall pluck me from his hand, not here nor ever after.
For what he spake, he will not break. he is my trust that none can shake.
For what he spake, he will not break. his name i'll praise forever.
