Trust in God.
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.”
Is life a stormy, painful road?
Short will your journey be;
Mourn not! and as ye believe in God—
Believe in me.
Short will your journey be;
Mourn not! and as ye believe in God—
Believe in me.
Severe His disciplining rod?
'Tis wise severity:
Faint not! and as ye believe in God—
Believe in me.
'Tis wise severity:
Faint not! and as ye believe in God—
Believe in me.
All is dependent on His nod,
The God of Nature He;
Sigh not! and as ye believe in God—
Believe in me.
The God of Nature He;
Sigh not! and as ye believe in God—
Believe in me.
91
Soon with the valley's clayey clod
Commingled ye will be;
Fear not! and as ye believe in God—
Believe in me.
Commingled ye will be;
Fear not! and as ye believe in God—
Believe in me.
For they who sleep beneath the sod
Shall wake to liberty;
Rejoice—and as ye believe in God—
Believe in me.
Shall wake to liberty;
Rejoice—and as ye believe in God—
Believe in me.
