The Old Story in Song ‎#90

90. Have Faith in God

1 Do you ever feel down-hearted or discouraged?
Do you ever think your work is all in vain?
Do the burdens thrust upon you make you tremble,
And you fear that you shall ne’er the vict’ry gain?

Refrain:
Have faith in God, the sun will shine,
Though dark the clouds may be today;
His heart has planned your path and mine;
Have faith in God, have faith alway.

2 Darkest night will always come before the dawning,
Silver linings shine on God’s side of the cloud;
All your journey He has promis’d to be with you,
Naught has come to you but what His love allow’d. [Refrain]

3 God is mighty! He is able to deliver;
Faith can victor be in ev’ry trying hour;
Fear, and care, and sin, and sorrow be defeated
By our faith in God’s almighty, conqu’ring pow’r. [Refrain]
