Representative Text

1 Trust thy Father, ever trust Him,
Closely cling to His dear hand,
Tho’ thy path is lost in darkness,
And thy feet can scarcely stand.

Refrain:
Trust thy Father, ever trust Him,
Never can His promise fail;
He thy strength will be, thy refuge,
Shelter in each stormy gale.

2 Trust thy Father, never asking
Why the way is hard and long;
Learn with hope the bitter lesson,
Trials make the spirit strong. [Refrain]

3 Trust thy Father, tho’ He lead thee
Thro’ the valley dark and low;
Thou with Him shall pass it safely,
And thy way with light shall glow. [Refrain]

4 Trust thy Father, ever trust Him,
Never let thy faith grow dim;
He doth know thy loss and sorrow,
Trust, O trust it all to Him. [Refrain]
