A Hymn of Trust~

Trust in the Lord and be not afraid! In quietness and confidence My strength shall ever be! No weariness shall overcome The soul that's stayed on Thee. Though trials sore and hardships come My strength He shall renew; His presence shall envelop me- No ill shall e'er pass through. My case into His hands I've given, He knoweth all I need; And He who notes the sparrows fall Shall still provide and lead. Though sudden sorrow peirce my heart, Though storm clouds rise and thunders roll, In quietness and confidence Shall be my strength of soul. Though friends may fail, the world be dark, I know for me He cares, And as a Father pitieth In all my grief He shares. And so, whatever may betide, Or whether weal or woe, In quietness and confidence Shall be the strength I know. --Nettie M. Sarge
