Can It Be Right?

Verse 1

Can it be right for me to go On in this dark, uncertain way? Say, I believe, and yet not know Whether my sins are put away?

Chorus

I will no longer doubt Thee, O Lord! I will forever rest in Thy Word.

Verse 2

Can it be right in doubt to wait, Wait for the day that tries the heart, Ere I shall learn what is my state, Fearing the Judge should say, Depart?

Verse 3

Can it be right such loads to bear, While He says, Come, I’ll give you rest? Bidding me cast on Him my care, Leaning in love, upon His breast.

Verse 4

Can it be right to doubt His pow’r, Both to forgive and vanquish sin? Even in trials of darkest hour, Can not His love give peace within?

Verse 5

Can it be right no soul to seek, Lest I should prove unfit to guide? Can He not teach my tongue to speak, Will He not ample strength provide?

Verse 6

Can it be right with such a Lord, Even to dread the hour of death? Waiting in faith the great reward, Calmly I’ll yield my dying breath.
