TRUST THOU IN GOD.
Reading edition
TRUST thou in God! he'll guide thee When arms of flesh shall fail; With every good provide thee, And make his grace prevail. Where danger most is found, There he his power discloseth; And 'neath his arm, Free from all harm, The trusting soul reposeth. Trust thou in God, though sorrow Thine earthly hopes destroy; To him belongs the morrow, And he will send thee joy. When sorrows gather near, Then he'll delight to bless thee! When all is joy, Without alloy, Thine earthly friends caress thee. Trust thou in God! he reigneth The Lord of lords on high; His justice he maintaineth In his unclouded sky. To triumph Wrong may seem, The day, yet justice winneth, And from the earth Shall songs of mirth Rise, when its sway beginneth. When friends grow faint and weary, When thorns are on thy way, When life to thee is dreary, When clouded is thy day, Then put thy trust in God, Hope on, and hoping ever; Give him thy heart, Nor seek to part The love which none can sever!
