We trust in you;
In all the past, through all our hopes and fears,
Your hand we view.
With each new day, when morning lifts the veil,
We own your mercies, Lord, which never fail.
2 God of the past, our times are in your hand;
With us abide.
Lead us by faith to hope's true Promised Land;
Be now our guide.
With you to bless, the darkness shines as light,
And faith's fair vision changes into sight.
3 God of the coming years, through paths unknown
We follow you;
When we are strong, Lord, leave us not alone;
Our faith renew.
Be now for us in life our daily bread,
Our heart's true home when all our years have sped.
Amen. Scripture: 2 Peter 3:8 Tune Title: WITMER
