Trust in God.
Fear not, faint not, though thou stray
In thy doubts and thy distress;
God can make a flowery way
Even through the wilderness.
In thy doubts and thy distress;
God can make a flowery way
Even through the wilderness.
Faint not, fear not, e'en if woe
Devastate thy path around;
God can make the streamlet flow
Even o'er the barren ground.
Devastate thy path around;
God can make the streamlet flow
Even o'er the barren ground.
If He lead thee, if He guide,
Cease thy doubt, thy sorrows cease:
For thy course is sanctified,
And its end is joy and peace.
Cease thy doubt, thy sorrows cease:
For thy course is sanctified,
And its end is joy and peace.
