Lyrics

Savior, I will trust Thee,
This shall be my song;
When the days are short­est,
When they’re dark and long;
When my friends are tru­est,
And my heart is glad,
When they’re false and few­est,
And my soul is sad.

Savior, I will trust Thee,
This shall be my stay;
Stilling all my doubt­ing,
Driving them away;
Holding me so close­ly,
To Thy truth sub­lime,
That my soul shall rip­en,
For the bet­ter clime.

Savior, I will trust Thee,
Trust Thee day and night;
Claim the bless­èd pro­mise,
Which shall guide aright;
All things work to­ge­ther,
For my good, I know;
Surely I may trust Him,
As I onward go.
