7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.(KJV)

1. My spirit on Thy care, 
Blest Savior, I recline; 
Thou wilt not leave me to despair, 
For Thou art Love divine. 

2. In Thee I place my trust, 
On Thee I calmly rest; 
I know Thee good, I know Thee just, 
And count Thy choice the best. 

3. Whate’er events betide, 
Thy will they all perform; 
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide 
Nor fear the coming storm. 

4. Let good or ill befall, 
It must be good for me; 
Secure of having Thee in all, 
Of having all in Thee.
