8. On the Good and Faithful

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 Savior,
Will in safety keep.
