Comfort in Trouble

Verse 1

By trouble oft I’m overwhelmed, By snares oft circumscribed, And yet thou thinkest Lord on me, Thou’rt ever near my side.

Verse 2

My earthly refuges doth fail, When foes my soul assail, And men deceive and friends deny, But Thou doth hear my cry.

Verse 3

The path I take Thou knowest Lord, It is beset with thorns, But I will ne’er its track forsake While glory’s in its wake.

Verse 4

It leads to bliss, O boundless love, From cross to crown I go, Then shall I shirk the cross below, And lose the crown above?

Verse 5

Awake, my soul and run thy race, Lay every weight aside, Thou soon shalt see thy Saviour’s face And 'round His throne abide. AMEN.
