Lyrics

All that our Sav­ior hath spok­en
Came from the heart of God;
Surely it can­not be brok­en,
Sealed with His pre­cious blood.

Refrain

Tempests may rage and thun­der,
Mountains be rent asun­der,
Nations may fear and won­der—
Trust, and be un­dis­mayed.

As un­to Ab­ram was giv­en
God’s cov’nant word of peace,
Counting the stars of the ev­en—
So shall thy faith in­crease.

Refrain

Trust when the light warm and ten­der
Seemeth to Thee with­drawn;
Wait a few hours, and in splen­dor
Morning again will dawn!

Refrain

Trust! tho’ all oth­ers for­sake thee,
Yet there re­mains one friend;
Mercy and truth shall o’er­take thee
Down to thy jour­ney’s end.

Refrain

Trust un­der ev­ery con­di­tion
Till thou shalt reach thy home;
Trust, till in per­fect frui­tion
That which is real hath come.
