Trust in God.
1 HPO God the only wise,
-*■ Our Saviour and our King,
Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.
2 'Tis his almighty love,
His counsel and his care,
Preserves us safe from sin and death.
And every hurtful snare.

Unblemished and complete,
Before the glory of his face,
With joys divinely great.

Shall hless the conduct of his grace,
And make his wonders known.

Wisdom and power belongs,
Immortal crowns of majesty,
And everlasting songs.

1 TN every time and place
-*- Who serve the Lord most high,
Are call'd his sovereign will to' embrace,
And still their own deny ;

And seek an undiscover'd land,
And house, and friends above.

And in the steps of Abraham's faith
Enable me to go,
A cheerful sojourner
Where'er thou bidd'st me roam,
Till, guided by thy Spirit here,
I reach my heavenly home.
