1 In sorrow and pain Thy trust do retain In Jesus the merciful Saviour. 2 When burdened with care, When thou wouldst despair, Then call on thy loving Redeemer. 3 He’ll lighten the load, And level the road And bear thee on hands of compassion. 4 He’s gentle and kind, Rich blessings thou’lt find; His Word gives thee peace everlasting. 5 He’ll shield and defend His child to the end; No suff’ring or death shall appall thee. 6 Keep Him for your gain, Earth’s pleasures are vain; Sweet rest is found only in Heaven. 7 In patience then bear All trial and care; Above streams of bliss will refresh thee.
