I Will Trust In The Lord

by Abram C. Wisner

Lord, in thee my hope and trust is stayed,
To the rock of thy salvation cling;
To be wholly thine I've often prayed,
And thy praises are the songs I'll sing.

Lord, in trusting thee, I'll find relief
From the trials here I'm bound to bear;
Even in my sorrow and my grief,
Joys from heaven by thy grace I'll share.

Sinful flesh may suffer, crave and pine,
Even groan beneath it's earthly load;
Yet a joy in my Redeemer find,
In the end a safe a sure abode.

There my joys shall ever freely flow,
With the ransomed of thy kingdom shine;
All because I worshiped thee below,
A reward in heaven I shall find.

Chorus

I am trusting in the Lord
And I know that he is nigh;
And by trusting we can only see the blessed land,
And gain a home on high.
