The Bright Array ‎#68

68. Simply Resting

1 There have been full many trials,
There are many yet to be;
In my path are slippery places
That my eyes can never see;
But I know the Lord, my keeper,
He will hide me from all ill;
And no danger can befall me
If I’m resting in His will.

Refrain:
So now I’m simply resting,
So now I’m simply resting;
And no danger can befall me
While I’m resting in His will.

2 It may be that clouds will gather
Till my skies are overcast;
And the days to come be darker
That the days already past;
But I know the Lord is o’er me,
And His face is shining still;
And no darkness can appall me
If I’m resting in His will. [Refrain]

3 Many joys of earth are fading,
Even now before my gaze;
I am reading oft and plainly
That His ways are not my ways;
But I know the Lord, my shepherd,
Leads through pastures green and still;
And He bids me walk beside Him,
For I’m resting in His will. [Refrain]
