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.
