In God, My Faithful God

In God

my faith­ful God

I trust when dark my road;

Though ma­ny woes o’ertake me

Yet He will not for­sake me;

His love it is doth send them

And when ’tis best will end them.

My sins as­sail me sore

But I des­pair no more;

I build on Christ who loves me

From this Rock no­thing moves me

Since I can all sur­ren­der

To Him

my soul’s de­fend­er.

If death my por­tion be

Then death is gain to me

And Christ my life for ev­er

From whom death can­not sev­er;

Come when it may

He’ll shield me

To Him I whol­ly yield me.

Ah

Je­sus Christ

my Lord

So meek in deed and word

Thou diedst once to save us

Because Thou fain wouldst have us

After earth’s life of sad­ness

Heirs of Thy heav­en­ly glad­ness.

So be it

then I say

With all my heart each day;

Guide us while here we wan­der

Till safe­ly land­ed yon­der

We too

dear Lord

ad­ore Thee

And sing for joy be­fore Thee.
