In weakness and trial

In weakness and trial

Published in 3 hymnals


Representative Text

1 In weakness and trial,
With God we may plead;
No fear of denial,
We're sure to succeed:
For though we oft grieve Him,
His promise is clear,
And love will believe Him:
Our Father will hear.

2 'Gainst the giant-like might
Of our foes we can bring,
As our weapons of fight,
But a stone and a sling.
Should this have dismayed us,
Our souls it may cheer,
That, called on to aid us,
Our Father will hear.

3 Our calls may be faint
As a child's timid cry,
Our hearts' feeble plaint
Scarce venture on high;
Yet Christ for us pleading,
We may persevere,--
Through Him interceding,
Our Father will hear.
