Have Faith in God

“Have faith in God” — What though behind, the foe, In front, the sea may rise with threatening might! The pillar of God’s presence, in the night As fire shall glow; Darkness around, he will to thee give light, Thy foes o’erthrow. Stretch forth, in trust, prayer’s wonder-working rod; Have faith in God.
“Have faith in God” — He holds the winds and waves Within the hollow of his own strong hand! All things obey one word of his command, And Jesus saves! The starry hosts he binds with circling band, Shuts storms in caves, His sacred feet the surging billows trod; Have faith in God.
“Have faith in God” — Though fig-tree blossom not, The labor of the olive seem to fail, The vine leaves wither ’neath the pelting hail, And falling, rot; They shall enrich the mold; while we bewail Their wasted lot, New fruit is forming down below the sod; Have faith in God.
“Have faith in God” — Omnipotent his love! Though mountains bar thy way, he shall again Thresh the high hills, till they become a plain, Or far remove; Things deemed impossible by men, and vain, Are wrought above, And for rough places, feet with iron are shod; Have faith in God.
—Selected.
