Teach Me to Trust

 Teach me to trust when there is cause to fear,

When trials come and tempests sore appear;

Help me to know that Thou, O God, art near--

Teach me to trust, Teach me to trust.

Teach me to trust when skies are shining bright,

Or when I grope alone in sorrow's night;

Thy love provides whatever's best and right--

Teach me to trust, teach me to trust.

Teach me to trust 'mid all life's tangled ways,

In all its disappointments and delays;

Give me a song-- a sacrifice of praise!

Teach me to trust, Teach me to trust.

Teach me to trust when weary, worn and frail,

When sickness, pain and other ills assail;

Thy grace sustains, Thy promise will not fail--

Teach me to trust, Teach me to trust.
