When in the Night I Meditate

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 God 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, You, O Lord,
Your holy one will save.

The path of life You show to me;
of joy a boundless store
is ever found at Your right hand,
and pleasures evermore.
