In Thee I trust, in Thee I hide;
I know Thou wilt not let me fall
If I stay by Thy side.
Refrain:
In Thy dear hands of love I lay,
Fulfill Thy purposes in me;
Teach me to say from day to day,
Thy will be done in me.
2 The storms of life are fierce and dark,
And hosts of Satan press me hard;
But still Thy strength can keep my bark,
Though broken and sin-scarred. [Refrain]
3 Though hard the cross, the burden great,
And I so weak, so poor, undone;
Yet on Thy side I’ll stand and wait,
Till victory is won. [Refrain]
4 The battle, Lord, is Thine, and we,
Though foe may kill us; yet I see
Thy blood sets poor dead captives free,
Though fierce the war may be. [Refrain] Scripture: Jude 21 Used With Tune: [Jesus, my Lord, my life, my all] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Able_to_Keep); Review and Herald Publishing Association, The Gospel in Song, 1926 (255)
