Trust him still

Representative Text

1 When o'er thy path the dark clouds have veiled the light,
Trust, trust him still, trust, trust him still,
When wearily thou art toiling for the right,
Trust, trust him still, trust him still.

Chorus:
Yes, trust him still, yes, trust him still,
Through all that is good and all that's ill,
Yes, trust him still, yes, trust him still,
Through all that is good and all that's ill.

2 Though death should take all the dear ones of thy love,
Trust, trust him still, trust, trust him still,
They're safe with Him. thou shalt meet them all above,
Trust, trust him still, trust him still. [Chorus]

3 How sweet to know when this earthly life is done,
Trust, trust him still, trust, trust him still,
Thou hast not failed, but a triumph thou hast won,
Trust, trust him still, trust him still. [Chorus]
