8.7.8.7.

TRUST Him when thy wants are many;

Trust Him when thy friends are few;

And the time of swift temptation

Is the time to trust Him too.

2

Trust Him when thy soul is burdened

With the sense of all its sin;

He will speak the word of pardon,

He will make thee clean within.

3

Trust Him for the grace sufficient,

Ever equal to thy need;

Trust Him always for the answer,

When in His dear name you plead.

4

Trust Him for the grace to conquer,

He is able to subdue;

Trust Him for the power for service;

Trust Him for the blessing too.

5

Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee,

Trust Him when thy strength is small,

Trust Him when to simply trust Him

Seems the hardest thing of all.

6

Trust Him; He is ever faithful;

Trust Him; for His will is best;

Trust Him; for the heart of Jesus

Is the only place of rest.

7

Trust Him, then, through cloud or sunshine,

All thy cares upon Him cast;

Till the storm of life is over,

And the trusting days are past.
