Refrain: On the word of God I calmly rest, With a sweet assurance in my breast; For I know it is His holy will, Each promise to fulfill. 2 Since the morn when time began, Hath His word ceased to prevail? Is the God of heaven weak as man? Or can His promise fail? [Refrain] 3 Hath a mortal yet been found Who hath trusted Him in vain? Search the whole broad space of earth around, And search it once again. [Refrain] 4 Trusting Him I’m not afraid, For He careth still for me; And for me the promise sure was made And sealed on Calvary. [Refrain] 5 Oh, what peace and calm content! Oh, what love and joy divine, While I trust Thy changeless word, are blent Within this heart of mine.
