Lyrics

Trust on! trust on, be­liev­er!
Tho’ long the con­flict be,
Thou yet shall prove vic­to­ri­ous;
Thy God shall fight for thee.

Refrain

Trust on! (trust on!)
Trust on! (trust on!)
Tho’ dark the night and drear;
Trust on! (trust on!)
Trust on! (trust on!)
The morn­ing dawn is near.

Trust on! trust on; thy fail­ings
May bow thee to the dust,
But in thy deep­est sor­row,
O give not up thy trust.

Refrain

Trust on! the dan­ger press­es;
Temptation strong is near,
Yet o’er life’s dan­ger­ous ra­pids,
He shall thy pas­sage steer.

Refrain

O Christ is strong to save us,
He is a faith­ful friend;
Trust on! trust on! be­liev­er,
O trust Him to the end.
