In God, My Faithful God

In God, my faithful God, I trust when dark my road; though many woes o'ertake me, yet He will not forsake me. His love it is doth send them and, when 'tis best, will end them.

Verse 2

My sins assail me sore, but I despair no more. I build on Christ, who loves me; from this Rock nothing moves me. To Him I all surrender, to Him, my soul's Defender.

Verse 3

If death my portion be, then death is gain to me and Christ my Life forever, from whom death cannot sever. Come when it may, He'll shield me, to Him I wholly yield me.

Verse 4

O Jesus Christ, my Lord, so meek in deed and word, Thou once didst die to save us because Thy love would have us be heirs of heav'nly gladness when ends this life of sadness.

Verse 5

"So be it," then I say with all my heart each day. We, too, dear Lord, adore Thee, we sing for joy before Thee. Guide us while here we wander until we praise Thee yonder.
