TRUST IN GOD.

What were there in this changing world To cling to, were the hope denied, The glorious promise to us given, That for our sakes' the Saviour died.

What object had the care-born soul, To struggle on thro' life alone, If, in its darkest hour, the eye Of faith could fail to view thy throne.

What were this life, a fading scene With more of grief and woe than joy, And death were but a constant pang, Our hours of comfort to destroy.

What were it all if Thou, our God, Were not our solace and our stay, Giving thy grace to guide and bless Our souls, in sorrow's darkening day.

Our God, our Father, blessed name, We love thy praises e'er to speak, In thee we trust, oh, give to us The Christian's spirit pure and meek.
