P. Gerhardt

S.M.

PUT thou thy trust in God,

In duty’s path go on;

Walk in His strength with faith and hope,

So shall thy work be done.

2

Commit thy ways to Him,

Thy works unto His hands,

And rest on His unchanging Word,

Who heaven and earth commands.

3

Though days and years roll on,

His covenant shall endure;

Though clouds and darkness hide His face,

The promised grace is sure.

4

Through waves, and clouds, and storms,

His power will clear thy way;

Wait thou His time; the darkest night

Shall end in brightest day.

5

Thou seest our weakness, Lord,

Our hearts are known to Thee;

O lift Thou up the sinking head,

Confirm the feeble knee.

6

Let us in life, in death,

Thy steadfast truth declare,

And publish with our latest breath

Thy love and guardian care.
