Lyrics

What time I am afraid
I put my trust in Thee;
In God I rest, and praise
His Word, so rich and free.

In God I put my trust,
I nei­ther doubt nor fear,
For man can ne­ver harm
With God my help­er near.

In God, the Lord, I rest,
His word of grace I praise,
His pro­mise stands secure,
Nor fear nor foe dis­mays.

Upon me are Thy vows,
O God, in whom I live;
The sac­ri­fice of praise
To Thee I now will give.

For Thou hast saved from death,
From fall­ing kept me free,
That in the light of life
My walk may be with Thee.
