When no star of hope is seen,
Master, I am not afraid,
I can trust Thee in the shade.
When the crested billows roar,
When my bark is far from shore,
Though I cannot see Thy form,
I can trust Thee in the storm.
When the enemy draws nigh,
When the battle rages high,
Thou who dost defend the right,
I can trust Thee in the fight.
When life’s latest hour is near,
Jordan’s swellings I’ll not fear;
True and tried and faithful Friend,
I can trust Thee to the end.
Chorus
I will trust and not be afraid,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For the Lord Jehovah is my strength and song;
He also is become my salvation.
M. Fraser
High in the heavens, Eternal God,Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
That veils and darkens Thy designs.
For ever firm Thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of Thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
Thy providence is kind and large,
Both man and beast Thy bounty share;
The whole creation is Thy charge,
But saints are Thy peculiar care.
From the provisions of Thy house
We shall be fed with sweet repast;
There mercy like a river flows,
And brings salvation to our taste.
Life, like a fountain, rich and free,
Springs from the presence of my Lord;
And in Thy light our souls shall see
The glories promised in Thy word.
Rev. Isaac Watts
