4s & 6s.
Trust in God amid perils.
In time of fear,
When trouble’s near,
I look to thine abode;
Though helpers fail,
And foes prevail,
I’ll put my trust in God.
2 And what is life
But toil and strife?
What terror has the grave?
Thine arm of power,
In peril’s hour,
The trembling soul will save.
3 In darkest skies,
Though storms arise,
I will not be dismayed:
O God of light,
And boundless might,
My soul on thee is stayed!
Hastings.
