Trust in God! He will direct thee,
He will love and will protect thee;
Lean upon his mighty arm,
Fear no danger, fear no harm.
Trust him for his grace and power;
Trust him in each trying hour.
Trust in God whate'er betide thee!
Trust him though he sometimes chide thee:
'Tis in love to lead thee back
When thou turnest from the track.
Trust him, cling to him forever,
And he will desert thee—never.
Trust in God, the Rock of ages!
Louder still the tempest rages,
Earthquakes heave and thunders roar,
Mountain surges lash the shore,
Nations tremble—hark! the warning,
"Comes the night, and comes the morning."
Watchmen on the walls of Zion
Catch a glimpse of Judah's Lion!
Man of sorrows, Lamb once slain,
Comes as King of kings to reign,
And from long oppressed Creation,
Break the anthems of salvation.
Trust in God! the morn awaits thee,
And while such a hope elates thee,
Wilt thou fold thy hands in ease?
No, the golden moments seize!
Lay thy gift upon the altar,
Thou hast duties—do not falter!
