Thou hidden source of calm repose, Thou all-sufficient love divine, My help and refuge from my foes, Secure I am if Thou art mine. And lo! from sin, and grief, and shame, I hide me, Jesus, in Thy name. Thy mighty name salvation is, And keeps my happy soul above: Comfort it brings, and power, and peace, And joy, and everlasting love: To me, with Thy great name, are given Pardon, and holiness, and heaven. Jesus, my All in all Thou art; My rest in toil, my ease in pain, The medicine of my broken heart; In war, my peace; in loss, my gain; My smile beneath the tyrant's frown; In shame, my glory and my crown. In want, my plentiful supply; In weakness, my almighty power; In bonds, my perfect liberty; My light in Satan's darkest hour; In grief, my joy unspeakable; My life in death---my All in all. Charles Wesley
