Lyrics

If there’s trou­ble any­where,
And your soul is near des­pair,
Just trust in the Sav­ior and be true;
His com­pas­sion nev­er doubt,
He will al­ways help you out,
For He will car­ry you thro’.

Refrain

He will car­ry you thro’,
He will car­ry you thro’;
Just trust in the Savior and be true;
And when tri­als you re­ceive,
Trust in God and still be­lieve
That He will car­ry you thro’.

Are your bur­dens hard to bear?
Are you weight­ed down with care?
Just trust in the Sav­ior and be true;
If you think you can­not stand,
Let Him lead you by the hand,
And He will car­ry you thro’.

Refrain

In temp­ta­tion’s try­ing hour
You will need His keep­ing pow’r,
Just trust in the Sav­ior and be true;
Tho’ the sha­dows ’round you fall,
He’ll be with you thro’ it all,
And He will car­ry you thro’.

Refrain

When you reach the swell­ing tide
Of death’s riv­er deep and wide,
Just trust in the Sav­ior and be true;
He will not for­sake your soul,
Tho’ the chil­ly waves may roll,
For He will car­ry you thro’.

He will car­ry me thro’,
He will car­ry me thro’,
I’ll trust in the Sav­ior and be true;
And when tri­als I re­ceive,
I will trust and still be­lieve
That He will car­ry me thro’.
