Trust in the Lord

Representative Text

Why that downcast eye?
Can no thought of gladness
Lift thy soul on high?

While to thee is given
All his grace to prove.

Agonized for sin?
Think of Jesus' merit;
He can make thee clean;

4 Think of Calvary's mountain,
Where his blood was spilt;
In that precious fountain
Wash away thy guilt.

5 Set the prize before thee;
Gird thy armor on:
Heir of grace and glory,
Struggle for thy crown.
