Trust and never fear

Verse 1

The Lord Almighty is my light, He is my Savior ever near, And since my strength is in His might, Who can distress me or affright? What evil shall I fear?

Verse 2

O Lord, regard me when I cry, In mercy hear me when I speak; Thou bidst me seek Thy face, and I, O Lord, with willing heart reply, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

Verse 3

Hide not Thy face afar from me, For Thou a lone canst help afford; O cast me not away from Thee Nor let my soul forsaken be, My Savior and my Lord.

Verse 4

Though earthly friends no pity take, Yet Thy compassion knows no end; E'en though my father shall forsake, E'en though my mother's love shall break, The Lord will be my Friend.

Verse 5

Jehovah, guide me in Thy way, And lead me in the path of right; Give me not up unto my foes, That rise to multiply my woes With false and cruel might.

Verse 6

My heart had failed in fear and woe Unless in God I had believed, Assured that He would mercy show And that my life His grace should know; Nor was my hope deceived.

Verse 7

Fear not, though succor be delayed, Still wait for God, and He will hear; Be strong, nor be thy heart dismayed, Wait, and the Lord shall bring thee aid, Yea, trust and never fear.
