.
Still I will trust, though all my hopes lie shattered
In broken fragments at my feet,
Though all my plans, like driven leaves are scattered
By winds of darkness and defeat:
.
For in my need, I hear my Savior saying
In answer to my pleading and praying:
"I am your God, be not afraid;
I will be near, be not dismayed!"
.
Yea, in the shadows of death's valley,
Where sorrows circle me around
When all the powers of darkness seem to rally
And scarce a ray of light is found,
.

STILL I WILL TRUST
(Isiah 41:10)
|
Then will I trust in Christ with great rejoicing,
In Him who once again His love is voicing-
"I am your God, be not afraid;
I will be near, be not dismayed !"
.
So will I walk with Christ, in faith believing,
With childlike trust, whate'er betide;
And from His hand His strength and love receiving
As in His presence I abide.
.
Thus shall I journey on to His glad tomorrow,
Where shall I hear Him say, "Lay down thy sorrow,
Come dwell with Me in realms above
Where all is light, and life, and love."
