Though He Slay Me
Author: Mrs. T. M. Griffin Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #21 (1888) First Line: Tho' all my earth treasures be taken from me Refrain First Line: I'll trust Him, I'll trust Him Lyrics: 1. Tho' all my earth treasures be taken from me,
E'en those that I prize most of all,
By faith His dear love in my sorrow I'll see,
Tho' grief and temptation befall.
Chorus:
I'll trust Him, I'll trust Him
O'er life's stormy sea,
I'll trust Him, I'll trust Him,
Wherever I be;
I'll trust Him, I'll trust Him
By night and by day,
O yes, I will trust Him,
Tho' me He should slay.
2. And if in the bloom of my strong hopeful life,
He sends me long watches of pain,
I meekly will fold my poor hands from the strife,
Nor grieve that my plans were in vain. [Chorus]
3. Tho' friends should forsake me and leave me alone,
And Marah's full cup I should quaff,
Though peace never come and my rest be a stone,
He'll still be my rod and my staff. [Chorus]
4. My rod and my staff, yes, on Him will I lean,
When through the deep waters I go,
In Him will I trust, and my soul be serene,
Though billows of woe overflow. [Chorus] Scripture: Job 13:15 Tune Title: [Tho' all my earth treasures be taken from me]

W. E. Penn
1832 - 1895 Person Name: Rev. W. E. Penn Author (Chorus) of "Though He Slay Me" in Harvest Bells Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Penn, William Evander. (Near village of Old Jefferson, Rutherford County, Tennessee, August 11, 1832--April 29, 1895, Eureka Springs, Arkansas). Southern Baptist. Evangelist in Texas and other states, 1875-1895. Compiled three hymnals titled Harvest Bells (1881, 1884, 1887) for use in his meetings. His hymns were primarily revivalistic in emphasis. His finest hymn, "There is a rock in a weary land, Its shadow falls on the burning sand" was paid the compliment of being reworked and issued under the name of Edward Husband in D.B. Towner's Revival Hymns (Chicago, 1905).
He and his wife Corilla Frances Sayle adopted three children. Ordained December 4, 1880.
