Gracious Christian song, moving song

Gracious  Christian song, moving song,

1. If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in

Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, what ever betide thee,

And bear thee through the evil days; Who trusts in God's unchanging

love Builds on the rock that nought can move.


If you but endure God to guide you, And hope in

Him through all your ways. He'll give you strength, what ever betide you,

And bear you through the evil days. Who trusts in God's unchanging

love, Builds on the rock that naught can move.

 

2. Only be still, and wait His leisure In cheerful hope,

with heart content To take what ever thy Father's pleasure

And all discerning love hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost

wants are known To Him who chose us for His own.

 

What can these anxious cares avail you,

These never ceasing moans and sighs?

What can it help if you bewail you, Our each dark moment as it flies?

Our cross and trials do but press, The heavy for our bitterness.


3. Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways, But do thine

own part faithfully; Trust His rich promises of grace,

so shall they be fulfilled in thee; God never yet forsook

at need The soul that trusted Him indeed. A-men.



Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving,

Perform your duties faithfully. And trust His Word:

though undeserving, You yet shall find it true for you.

God never yet forsook in need, The soul that trusted Him indeed.

A-men.
