In God is My Trust.

By Almon D. Farrar

When storms around me lower, And threaten to o'erwhelm, I know God's mighty power, In mercy guides the helm. His form I cannot see, Because I am but dust, Yet know he cares for me, And in him put my trust.
Should those I trusted most, But traitors to me prove, I know the angelic host, Watch over me in love, To ward the fatal dart, In fiendish malice thrust, To pierce a breaking heart; And still in God I trust.
Though fortune, fickle elf, To me she should seem unkind, And bring upon myself, Things contrary to my mind, I'll strive to be content, Forsake all earthly lust, Be zealous and repent, And still make God my trust.
Though weak and frail my frame, And burdened is my mind, In that prevailing Name, I'll consolation find. For he regards our frame, He knows we are but dust; And praise his holy name, In God we still can trust.
ALMON D. FARRAR.
