671. Forever Trusting in the Lord

1 Forever trusting in the Lord,
take heed to do his will;
so shall you dwell within the land,
and he your needs shall fill.

2 Delight now in the Lord, and he
will grant your heart's request;
to him commit your way in faith,
and thus you shall be blessed.

3 And he shall make your righteousness
shine brightly as the light,
and as the burning noonday sun
your judgment shall be bright.

4 Rest in the Lord with quiet trust,
wait patiently for him;
though wickedness triumphant seem,
let not your faith grow dim.
