Hymn CCLXXV. Common Metre. Trust in God's Word
by Anonymous
When sin and sorrow, fear and pain My trembling heart dismay My feeble strength, alas, how vain! It sinks and dies away.
My spirit asks a firmer prop, I lean upon the Lord; My God, the pillar of my hope, Is thy unchanging word.
On this are built, the brightest joys Celestial beings know, And 'tis the same almighty voice Supports the faints below.
'Tis this upholds the rolling spheres And heav'n's immortal frame; Then, let my soul suppress her fears My basis is the same.
Thy sacred word, thy solemn oath Forever must remain; I trust in everlasting truth, Nor shall my trust be vain,
