The Cyber Hymnal ‎#2891

2891. I'll Trust the Lord

1. I’ll trust the Lord with all my heart,
His promises are sure;
His grace divine, His tenderness,
Will evermore endure.

Refrain
My heart I bring to Him, my King,
’Tis all that I can give;
His love divine I know is mine,
In Him alone I live.

2. How gracious is this heav’nly Friend,
And He is ever nigh!
My hope and comfort here below,
My Guide to worlds on high. [Refrain]

3. How wondrous is His matchless love,
His mercy, O how free!
The Lord of all the realms above,
He still abides with me. [Refrain]

4. Enthroned within my heart, He fills
My soul with peace and joy;
The sweet assurances He gives
No power can e’er destroy. [Refrain]
