1 Trust, trust the Lord, tho’ in sadness,
Lift up the heart in song;
Praise, praise His name, tell with gladness,
He is our refuge strong.
Safe in the Rock, He will hide us,
Onward will surely guide us;
We’ll flee to Him when sore distress’d,
Clasped in His arms we’ll safely rest.

2 When on the skies’ sunny splendor,
Dark, gloomy clouds arise,
Then be His love, warm and tender,
Light to our waiting eyes.
He is the Friend never-failing,
He is the pow’r prevailing;
When earthly joys vanish away,
He bringeth us His perfect day.

3 Sing, all thro’ time’s changeful story,
Glad hymns of faith and love;
Then in the bright, heav’nly glory,
Swell nobler songs above.
From ev’ry foe He will save us,
His precious Word He gave us;
Hidden in Him, peaceful we’ll be,
Till by and by His face we see.
