Sacred Songs No. 1 ‎#20

20. I will Trust, and not be Afraid

1 When the thick clouds intervene,
When no star of hope is seen,
Master, I am not afraid,
I can trust Thee in the shade.

Refrain:
I will trust and not be afraid,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For the Lord Jehovah is my strength and song;
He also is become my salvation.

2 When the crested billows roar,
When my bark is far from shore,
Though I cannot see Thy form,
I can trust Thee in the storm. [Refrain]

3 When the enemy draws nigh,
When the battle rages high,
Thou who dost defend the right,
I can trust Thee in the fight. [Refrain]

4 When life’s latest hour is near,
Jordan’s swellings I’ll not fear;
True and tried and faithful Friend,
I can trust Thee to the end. [Refrain]
