Lord, with all my heart I thank You

2. In my inmost heart, O Jesus,
   You are keeping watch, I know,
   keeping out all that would harm me
   or arouse fear in my soul.
3. As a Prince You come from heaven,
   clothed in might and victory,
   and You have the power to order
   fear and anxiousness to yield.
4. You alone, Lord, hold the sceptre
   as the mighty Prince of Peace.
   So my heart is well-protected,
   banished all anxiety.
5. With Your peace You rule within me,
   reigning over heart and soul.
   As my Prince of Peace, Lord Jesus,
   perfect peace You now bestow.
6. Since on earth in night and darkness
   You endured fear willingly,
   You can tell us what the help is,
   bringing aid in time of need.
7. Dearest Lord, how I must thank You,
   for You truly come to me!
   I will trust You and not waver
   each time fear oppresses me.
