1 This is the day, when men fail to pray,
When hearts are estranged from God;
Yet there is naught to worry those who trust,
Who walk in the path He trod.

Refrain:
Let not your heart be troubled,
Ye believe in God,
Let not your heart be troubled,
Ye believe in God,
Believe also in Me,
Believe also in Me;
In my Father’s house are many mansions,
In my Father’s house are many mansions;
If it were not so I would have told you;
I go to prepare a place for you,
And if I go to prepare a place for you
I will come again and receive you unto Myself,
That where I am ye may be also,
That where I am ye may be also;
That where I am ye may be also.

2 This is His word, and those who have heard
Will trust Him thru ev’ry day;
With heart atune to heav’nly things divine,
Your ear will hear the Savior say:— [Refrain]

3 Sad heart, be still, and rest in His will,
No earth trial can you disturb,
If in the quiet of your inner life
The voice of Jesus you have heard. [Refrain]

Little is known about Albert Allen Ketchum, except that he was once a student at Moody Bible Institute, in Chicago, and lived at one time in Long Beach, California. While attending Moody in the early 1920′s, he wrote the words and music for a gospel song called, "Why Do I Sing About Jesus?" It was one of 12 or 15 songs he submitted to Harry Dixon Clarke for publication. --wordwisehymns.com/2010/02/12/… Go to person page >
