Amidst Life's Storms

1 Amidst life’s storms and cares and woes,
Amidst the plots and shafts of foes,
Amidst the powers which dare oppose,
Rest in the Lord.

2 Be it thy joy, O anxious soul,
Till thou shalt reach the heavenly goal,
Thy burden on Thy God to roll:
Rest in the Lord.

3 Sickness may try, and losses come;
But thou art on the safe way home;
Thy Father will disperse the gloom:
Rest in the Lord.

4 In quiet calm,—in Christ’s own rest,—
In secret strength for all opprest;
All things are working for the best:
Rest in the Lord.

5 Rest in His truth, His power, His grace,
Rest in His knowledge of thy case;
Rest in the sunshine of His face:
Rest in the Lord.

6 Rest in His love—it cannot chill;
Rest in His sweet and blessèd will;
Rest in Himself: be hushed, be still:
Rest in the Lord.
