Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #485b (1899) Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
And hope in Him through all thy ways,
He'll give thee strength whate'er betide thee,
And bear thee through the evil days.
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
Builds on the Rock that cannot move.
2 Only be still, and wait His leisure
In cheerful hope with heart content
To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure
And all-deserving love hath sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.
3 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving;
So do thine own part faithfully,
And trust His word; though undeserving,
Thou yet shalt find it true for thee:
God never yet forsook at need
The soul that trusted Him indeed.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ELBE
If thou but suffer God to guide thee
