1. In sorrow and pain
Thy trust do retain
In Jesus the merciful Saviour.
2. When burdened with care,
When thou wouldst despair,
Then call on thy loving Redeemer.
3. He’ll lighten the load,
And level the road
And bear thee on hands of compassion.
4. He’s gentle and kind,
Rich blessings thou’lt find;
His Word gives thee peace everlasting.
5. He’ll shield and defend
His child to the end;
No suff’ring or death shall appall thee.
6. Keep Him for your gain,
Earth’s pleasures are vain;
Sweet rest is found only in Heaven.
7. In patience then bear
All trial and care;
Above streams of bliss will refresh thee.
Thy trust do retain
In Jesus the merciful Saviour.
