16288. I Will Trust Him

1 Tho’ He slay me, I will trust Him,
Trust Him in the dark­est day;
Trust Him tho’ I can­not see Him,
Trust Him, trust Him all the way.

Refrain:
I will trust Him, I will Trust Him,
I will trust Him ev­ery day;
I will trust Him, I will Trust Him,
I will trust Him ev­ery day.

2 Tho’ He slay me, I will trust Him,
Clinging clos­er, clos­er still;
Closer till the cross shall lift me,
Nearer, near­er to His will. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ He slay me, I will trust Him,
Faith shall leap the bounds of life!
Hid with Christ in God for­ev­er,
I shall dwell above the the strife. [Refrain]
