What evil can thy steps betide?
Though foes, a mighty host, assemble,
Fear not, for God is on thy side.

Be still, O heart!
What evil can betide thee?
Fear not, fear not,
With God to walk beside thee.

He stoops to hear—tell all thy story—
He loves, He cares, He’ll send relief. [Refrain]

About the future all unknown;
Ne’er think the Master is forgetting
About His child—His loved and own. [Refrain]

The clouds or sunshine as is best;
His own right hand shall e’er defend thee;
Then trust His love, and be at rest. [Refrain] Topics: Faith; Trust Scripture: Psalm 46:10 Tune Title: [Be still, O heart, why fear and tremble]
