Text: | Hymn of Trust |
Author: | Miss F. E. Pettingell |
Tune: | [Shall the earth now brown and bare] |
Arranger: | F. L. A. |
1 Shall the earth now brown and bare
New-made robes of verdure wear?
And the blossoms hid from sight
Rise again to life and light?
Refrain:
Trust and wait; O wait and trust;
God hath said; He will, He must
Meet His promise,
Soon or late;
Wait and trust, O trust and wait.
2 Shall the stream, now chill and slow
Find its merry limpid flow?
Shall the cold and cheerless plain
Wave the ripen’d, golden grain? [Refrain]
3 Doth the grave, like winter’s cold
Surety of new life enfold,
Life perfected, life that will
Our increasing yearning fill? [Refrain]
