Author: Beulah Hymnal: Melodious Sonnets #31 (1885) First Line: God has given me a song, a song of trust Refrain First Line: Ye who trust in the Lord Lyrics: 1 God has given me a song, a song of trust,
And I sing it all day long, for sing I must;
Ev’ry hour it sweeter grows,
Fills my soul with blest repose,
Just how restful no one knows but those who trust.
Refrain:
Ye who trust in the Lord,
Oh, sing a glad refrain;
Raise your songs on high,
His mighty love proclaim;
For his promise is sure,
Ye shall not be put to shame,
Ye shall never be confounded again:
Praise his name!
2 O, I sing it on the mountain, in the light,
Where the radiance of God’s sunshine makes all bright;
All my path seems bright and clear,
Heav’nly land seems very near:
Why, I almost then appear to walk by sight. [Refrain]
3 And I sing it in the valley dark and low,
When my heart is crush’d with sorrow, pain, and woe;
Then the shadows flee away,
Like the night when dawns the day;
Trust in God brings light alway, I find it so. [Refrain]
4 When I sing it in the desert parched and dry,
Living streams begin to flow, a rich supply;
Verdure in abundance grows,
Deserts blossom like a rose,
And my heart with joy o’erflows at God’s reply. [Refrain]
5 For I’ve crossed the river Jordan, and I stand
In the blessed land of promise,—Beulah land:
Trusting is like breathing here,
Just as ease,—doubt and fear
Vanish in this atmosphere, in Beulah land. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [God has given me a song, a song of trust]
