|
| 1 | Though dark be our way, since God is our Guide, | Psalm 32:8; Philippians 4:19; 1 Samuel 15:22; Acts 5:29; Jeremiah 2:13; 1 Kings 8:56 |
| 'Tis ours to obey; 'tis His to provide: |
| Though cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail, |
| The word He hath spoken shall surely prevail. |
|
| 2 | His love in times past forbids us to think |
| He'll leave us at last in trouble to sink: |
| The Lamb in His glory is ever in view, |
| The pledge and the proof He will help us quite through. |
|
| 3 | And since all we meet must work for our good, | Romans 8:28; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 |
| The bitter is sweet, the medicine is food: |
| Though painful at present, 'twill cease before long, |
| And then how triumphant the conqueror's song! |
