Hymn NCH #410 If You But Trust in God to Guide You
If you but trust in God to guide you, with hopeful heart through all your ways, you'll find strength, with God beside you, to bear the worst of evil days; For those who trust God's changeless love build on the rock that will not mov e.
Only be still, and wait his pleasure in cheerful hope, with heart content, trusting with grace that knows no measure will by unbounding Love be sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are clear to One who holds us always near .
Sing, pray, and keep God's ways unswerving, offer your service faithfully, and trust God's word; though undeserving, there find the truth to set you free; God will not fail to guide and bless those who embrace God's faithfulness .
