Representative Text

1 When darkest clouds o’erhang the way,
And threat’ning storms are heard,
Just rest upon the promises,
And take him at his word.

Refrain:
O take him at his word,
Yes, take him at his word;
‘Tis sweet to trust in Jesus’ name,
And take him at his word.

2 Tho’ evil hosts assail, and oft
Your heart with fear is stirred,
No evil can prevail, if you
Will take him at his word. [Refrain]

3 Your pray’rs ascend the throne of grace,
Although by men unheard;
There’s One who hears the pray’r of faith,
Then take him at his word. [Refrain]

4 He ready waits to fill the soul
With melody unheard;
Just cast your all upon the Lord,
And take him at his word. [Refrain]
