The words
Verse 1
Thou wilt keep him in per- fect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee. The darkness and the light to thee, to thee are both a like, to thee are both a like. God is light, and in him is no dark- ness at all. O let my soul live, and it shall praise thee, shall praise thee, for thine is the king- dom, the power and the glory, for e- vermore, e- ver more. Thou wlt keep him in per- fect peace, whose mind is stay- ed on thee, is stay- ed on thee.
Free to sing: Samuel Sebastian Wesley died in 1876.
