The Kingdom of Praise ‎#74

74. Trusting in thy guide

1 Christ is beside thee,
Ready to guide thee,
He will give thee joy for sorrow,
Lean on His arm;
Words He has spoken
Cannot be broken,
There’s a promise for the morrow,
Nothing can harm.

Refrain:
Trust in Christ Thy guide,
In His love confide,
Peace and hope above
In the heart that trusts Him ev’ry day;
Best and truest Friend!
Trust Him to the end,
Till thine eyes behold the glory
When the shadows flee away.

2 Follow His guiding,
Sweetly confiding,
Ev’ry path that may seem dreary
Leads thee above;
Skies will be brighter,
Loads will be lighter,
Even when thy feet are weary,
Trust in His love. [Refrain]

3 Hope that’s eternal,
Joy that’s supernal,
May be found beyond the portal,
They will be thine;
After earth’s sadness,
Heaven’s own gladness,
In the land of life immortal,
Glory divine! [Refrain]
