WHATEVER MAY BETIDE.

Help me O Lord, to trust in thee, Whatever may betide; Though health should fail, and riches flee, Though friends the dearest far to me, Be taken from my side.
I know that sickness, sorrow, death, Lie in the onward way; O, help me, in true-hearted faith, Sweetly to rest, since Jesus saith, "Strength shall be as thy day."
In sickness passed, in dangers o'er, My helper thou has been; Then should I, for each coming hour, Childlike believe thy love and power Support will yield again.
When this poor heart on Thee I stay, On earth is heaven begun; Then love leads on from day to day In duty's path, and helps me say, "Thy will, not mine, be done."
Thus would I ever trust in Thee, My Comforter and Guide; For e'en though fears and sins prevail, Thy promises can never fail, Whatever may betide.
