Lyrics

Brother, is your face toward the Canaan of rest?
Trust in the promise of the Sav­ior;
Sister, are you bound for the home of the blest?
Trust in the promise of thy Lord.

Refrain

He will walk beside us, in His mercy hide us;
With His eye He’ll guide us, trust in Him.
Yes, we’ll trust in Je­sus. Yes, we’ll trust in Je­sus.
He’ll forsake us ne­ver, trust in Him.

Brother, is your faith looking upward today?
Trust in the promise of the Sav­ior.
Sister, is the light shining bright on your way?
Trust in the promise of thy Lord.

Refrain

Brother, persevere and be firm to the last,
Trust in the promise of the Sav­ior;
Sister, you shall rest when your labor is past,
Trust in the promise of thy Lord.
