Lyrics

Only trust­ing in my Sav­ior,
All to Him my soul would leave;
He has suf­fered to re­deem me,
And His Word I now be­lieve.

Refrain

Now to Christ alone I’m cling­ing,
Tho’ the tem­pest round me blow;
Heeding not the clouds above me,
Dreading not the waves be­low.

Only trust­ing, no­thing doubt­ing,
This is all that I can do;
Every trial that be­falls me
He will safe­ly bring me thro’.

Refrain

There are break­ers in the dist­ance,
Yet no dan­ger will I fear;
On the rock my feet are rest­ing,
Naught of harm can reach me there.

Refrain

Only trust­ing, only trust­ing,
This is joy and life to me;
Thou wilt ne­ver leave me friend­less
While I cling, O Christ, to Thee.
