Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#7

7. On the Good and Faithful

1 On the good and faithful
God has set His love;
When they call He sends them
Blessings from above.
Stand in awe and sin not,
Bid your heart be still;
Through the silent watches
Think upon His will.

2 Lay upon God's altar
Good and loving deeds,
And in all things trust Him
To supply your needs.
Anxious and despairing,
Many walk in night;
But to those that fear Him
God will send His light.

3 In God's love abiding,
I have joy and peace
More than all the wicked,
Though their wealth increase.
In His care confiding,
I will sweetly sleep,
For the Lord, my Savior,
Will in safety keep.
