PUT THOU THY TRUST IN GOD

VERSE 1:
D   G                 C
Put thou thy trust in God,
          A7      D
In duty's path go on;
     G      C             A7        D
Walk in His strength with faith and hope,
   C         D7      G
So shall thy work be done.

VERSE 2:
Commit thy ways to him,
thy works into his hands,
and rest on his unchanging word,
who heaven and earth commands.

VERSE 3:
Though years on years roll on,
his covenant shall endure;
though clouds and darkness hide his path,
the promised grace is sure.

VERSE 4:
Give to the winds thy fears;
hope, and be undismayed:
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head.

VERSE 5:
Through waves and clouds and storms
his power will clear thy way:
wait thou his time; the darkest night
shall end in brightest day.

VERSe 6:
Leave to his sovereign sway
to choose and to command;
so shalt thou, wondering, own his way,
how wise, how strong his hand.
