When I Can Read My Title Clear

Isaac Watts (1707) • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 25:5

Verse 1

When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I'll bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes.

Chorus

I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord till I die: I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord till I die.

Verse 2

Should earth against my soul engage, And fiery darts be hurled, Then I can smile at Satan's rage, And face a frowning world.

Chorus

I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord till I die: I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord till I die.

Verse 3

Let cares like a wild deluge come, Let storms of sorrow fall! May I but safely reach my home: My God, my heaven my all.

Chorus

I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord till I die: I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord till I die.

Verse 4

There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.

Chorus

I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord till I die: I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord, I'm goin' to trust in the Lord till I die.
