Trust God: who will employ His aid for thee, and change these sighs To thankful hymns of joy. 4 I sigh to think of happier days, When thou, O Lord! wast nigh; When every heart was tuned to praise, And none more blest than I. 5 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still; and thou shalt sing The praise of him who is thy God, Thy health's eternal spring. Scripture: Psalm 42:1 Used With Tune: CHERITH
