I Will Trust Him

Author: A. H. A. Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Though I walk the shore that rims the ocean Refrain First Line: I will trust Him in the valley of the shadow Lyrics: 1 Though I walk the shore that rims the ocean, Though I face the storm upon the sea; In the hands of love I rest securely, For I know my Lord will care for me. Refrain: I will trust Him in the valley of the shadow, I will trust Him on the wild and stormy sea; I will trust Him anywhere because He loves me, I will trust Him thro’ eternity. 2 If He bids me walk within the valley Where the darkness hides His blessed face, He will surely keep my feet from falling, While my soul is trusting in His grace. [Refrain] 3 If to lands unknown He bids me journey, Or to lift the heavy load of care; If I bear the cross for Him who suffered, In His glory I shall have a share. [Refrain] 4 He has built a home of many mansions, Where my longing soul at last shall rest; When I rise complete in His perfection, I shall join the chorus of the blest.
