Representative Text

1 I will trust thee, loving Savior,
With the pathway I shall tread;
Let it be with glory showered
Or with dimness overspread.

Chorus:
Simply trusting in my Savior,
I repose upon his breast;
Simply trusting in my Savior,
What he does for me is best.

2 In life’s morning I will trust thee,
Be my Counsellor in youth.
Help me triumph in each conflict,
Girded with the sword of truth. [Chorus]

3 In the tempest I will trust thee,
Only wilt thou near me stand;
Should the billows overwhelm me,
Reach me then thy gracious hand. [Chorus]

4 In the darkness I will trust thee,
Speak and show thy wondrous pow’r;
Or when shadows all have vanished,
Still I’ll trust thee ev’ry hour. [Chorus]

5 Choose my way, nor let me wander
From the place thou’dst have me fill;
Not the way which seems the fairest,
But the way of thy sweet will. [Chorus]
