328 He has sent me to declare, All is ready, all is free : Why should any soul despair, When he saved a wretch like me ?

1 WHILE I lived without the Lord, (If I might be said to live,) Nothing could relief afford, Nothing satisfaction give.

2 Empty hopes and groundless fear Moved by turn my anxious mind ; Like a feather in the air, Made the sport of every wind.

3 Now T see, whate er betide, All is well, if Christ be mine ; He has promised to provide, I have only to resign.

4 When a sense of sin and thrall Forced me to the sinner s Friend, He engaged to manage all, By the way, and to the end.

5 &quot; Cast,&quot; he said, &quot; on me thy care, Tis enough that I am nigh ; I will all thy burdens bear, I will all thy wants supply.

6 *&amp;lt; Simply follow as I lead, Do not reason, but believe ; Call on me in time of need, Thou shalt surely help receive. &quot;

7 Lord, I would, I do submit, Gladly yield my all to thee ; What thy wisdom sees most fit, Must be surely best for me.
