The Psalter ‎#8

8. Faith and Peace

1 On the good and faithful
God has set His love;
When they call He sends them
Blessings from above.

2 Stand in awe, and sin not,
Bid your heart be still;
Through the silent watches
Think upon His will.

3 Anxious and despairing,
Many walk in night;
But to those that fear Him
God will send His light.

4 In His care confiding,
I will sweetly sleep,
For the Lord, my Saviour,
Will in safety keep.
