I Know in Whom I Trust

Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I know in Whom I trust When guilt of sin oppresses, When anguish and remorse My burdened soul distresses; I come before Thy throne, O God, in Jesus' Name; Thy mercy, love, and truth Forever are the same. 2 I know in Whom I trust When, troubled and dejected, I lack the strength to go The way of God selected' To Jesus then I pray With a repentant mind, And strength of holiness I through His Spirit find. 3 I know in Whom I trust When worldly pomp and splendor Would lure my heart away, For He is my Defender. I hear His warning voice, I feel His loving hand; Temptations and deceits With Him I thus withstand. 4 I know in Whom I trust When peace and joy forsake me, When fain my heart would break, And sorrows overtake me. The suffering of my Lord, His anguish, pain, and woe Remind me of the way We after Him must go. 5 I know in Whom I trust When evening shadows lengthen, When death stands at the door,-- For Christ is there to strengthen. He died upon the cross To conquer death and hell; A Conqueror He rose, And all with us is well. 6 I know in Whom I trust; I praise Him and adore Him; By works I show my faith; My heart I lay before Him; Not only crying, "Lord!" I take Him as my Guide, And thus in life and death In Him alone abide. Amen.

Johan Olof Wallin

1779 - 1839 Person Name: Johan Olaf Wallin Author of "I know in whom I trust" Johan Olaf Wallin was born at Stora Tuna, in 1779, and early displayed his poetical powers. In 1805, and again in 1809, he gained the chief prize for poetry at Upsala. In the latter year he became pastor at Solna; here his ability as a preacher was so striking that he was transferred to Stockholm, in 1815, as "pastor primarius," a title for which we have no exact equivalent. In 1818 he was made Dean of Westeras, and set about the task of editing a revised hymn-book for the whole of Sweden. This task he completed in 1819, and published it as, Den Swenska Psalmboken, af Konungen gillad och stadfästad (The Swedish hymn-book, approved and confirmed by the King). To it he contributed some 150 hymns of his own, besides translations and recastings; and the book remains now in the form in which he brought it out. It is highly prized by the Swedes, and is in use everywhere. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, p. 1000 (1907)
