Trusting in the Lord

Representative Text

1 Tho' the storms of life be raging high,
Fraught with dangers, perils ever nigh,
Still I know my soul shall never die,
Trusting in the Lord.

Chorus:
O trusting, trusting in the Lord,
I believe the promises He gave;
Trusting, trusting in the Lord,
He alone can save.

2 Pain may rack this earthly house of mine,
I believe the promises He gave;
Trusting, trusting in the Lord,
He alone can save. [Chorus]

3 Other hopes may swiftly pass away,
Other joys may vanish or decay,
Still with faith I tread the narrow way,
Trusting in the Lord. [Chorus]
