Lyrics

I know in whom my soul be­lieves,
I know in whom I trust;
The Ho­ly One, the mer­ci­ful,
The on­ly wise and just.

Refrain

I know in whom my soul be­lieves,
And all my fears de­part;
For though the win­ter winds may blow,
’Tis sum­mer in my heart.

I know the Sun of Right­eous­ness
Illumes the path I tread;
And buds of hope that ne­ver die
Their bal­my odor shed.

Refrain

How sweet to walk obe­di­ent­ly
With Christ my lov­ing Lord;
And learn in sim­ple, child­like faith
My du­ty from His Word.

Refrain

I know in yon­der man­sion bright
For me there is a place;
And there with Je­sus I shall wake,
And see Him face to face.
