Representative Text

1 I am trusting in the promise,
Of the blessed King of kings,
That my soul shall dwell in safety,
‘Neath the shadow of His wings.

Refrain:
I am trusting, trusting,
Trusting in the promise of the Saviour;
I am trusting, trusting,
Trusting His unchanging word.

2 I am trusting in the promise
Of His all protecting care,
For His blessed word assures me
He will hear and answer pray’r. [Refrain]

3 I am trusting in the promise;
And, whatever may betide,
There is naught on earth can harm me
If in Him I still abide. [Refrain]

4 I am trusting in the promise
That will never, never fail;
It will be my sweetest comfort,
‘Till I rest within the vail. [Refrain]
