In Thee, Lord, Have I Put My Trust

In Thee

Lord

have I put my trust

Leave me not help­less in the dust

Let not my hope be brought to shame

But still sus­tain

through want and pain

My faith that Thou art aye the same.

Incline a gra­cious ear to me

And hear the pray­ers I raise to Thee

Show forth Thy pow­er and haste to save!

For woes and fear sur­round me here

Oh swift­ly send the help I crave!

My God and shield

now let Thy pow­er

Be unto me a migh­ty tow­er

Whence I may free­ly

brave­ly fight

Against the foes that round me close

For fierce are they and great their might.

Thy Word hath said

Thou art my rock

The strong­hold that can fear no shock

My help

my safe­ty

and my life

Howe’er dis­tress and dang­ers press;

What then shall daunt me in the strife?

The world for me hath false­ly set

Full many a sec­ret snare and net

Dark lies

de­lu­sions sweet and vain;

Lord

hear my pray­ers

and break these snares

And make my path be­fore me plain.

With Thee

Lord

would I cast my lot;

My God

my God

for­sake me not

O faith­ful God

for I com­mend

My soul to Thee; de­liv­er me

Both now

and when this life must end.
