Representative Text

1 Troubled heart, thy fear dispel;
He who loves and loves thee well,
Though thy star of faith is dim,
Kindly bids thee lean on him.

Refrain:
Lean on him, lean on him,
Though the light of faith is dim;
Whatsoe’er thy trials be,
Lean on him who cares for thee.

2 Troubled heart, oh, why dismayed?
Let thy hope on God be stayed;
Go to him whose name is love;
Prayer will ev’ry cloud remove. [Refrain]

3 Troubled heart, despond no more,
He who once thy sorrow bore,
He who wept on earth for thee,
Ev’ry tear of thine can see. [Refrain]

4 Troubled heart, be still, be still,
Learn to know thy Saviour’s will;
He thy dearest friend will be,
Lean on him who died for thee. [Refrain]
