In Doubt and Temptation

In doubt and temptation I rest, Lord, in Thee;
My hand is in Thy hand, Thou carest for me;
My soul with Thy counsel through life Thou wilt guide,
And afterward make me in glory abide.

Refrain

My God, I will extol Thee
And ever bless Thy Name;
Each day will I give thanks to Thee
And all Thy praise proclaim.

In glory Thou only my portion shall be,
On earth for none other I long for but Thee;
My flesh and heart falter, but God is my stay,
The strength of my spirit, my portion for aye.

Refrain

All they that forsake Thee must perish and die,
But near to my Savior most blessèd am I;
I make Thee my refuge, my Lord and my God;
Thy grace and Thy glory I publish abroad.

Refrain

This appears to be a metrical paraphrase of Psalm 73 (especially verses 23-26 and 27-28). No specific author is credited in common hymnals or public-domain sources; it is typically listed as anonymous or traditional. The style and language suggest 19th-century origins, but no verified attribution exists.
