If Thou but Suffer God to Guide Thee

Georg Neumark (1641) • Catherine Winkworth (1855, 1863) • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6

Verse 1

If you but trust in God to guide you and place your confidence in him, you'll find him always there beside you to give you hope and strength within; for those who trust God's changeless love build on the rock that will not move.

Verse 2

Only be still and wait his pleasure in cheerful hope with heart content. He fills your needs to fullest measure with what discerning love has sent; doubt not our inmost wants are known to him who chose us for his own.

Verse 3

Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving, offer your service faithfully, and trust his word; though undeserving, you'll find his promise true to be. God never will forsake in need the soul that trusts in him indeed.
