If you but trust in God to guide you
And
place your confidence in Him,
You’ll
find Him always there beside you,
To
give you hope and strength within.
For
those who trust God’s changeless love
Build
on the rock that will not move.
2
What
gain is there in futile weeping,
In
helpless anger and distress?
If
you are in His care and keeping,
In
sorrow will He love you less?
For
He who took for you a cross
Will
bring you safe through every loss.
3
In
patient trust await His leisure
In
cheerful hope, with heart content
To
take whate’er your Fathers’s pleasure
And
all discerning love have sent;
Doubt
not your inmost wants are known
To
Him chose you for His own.
4
Sing,
pray and keep His ways unswerving,
Offer
your service faithfully,
And
trust His word; though undeserving,
You’ll
find His promise true to be.
God
never will forsake in need
The
soul that trust in Him indeed.
