HAVE FAITH IN GOD

———————

WHEN the stormy winds are blowing

And the angry billows roll,

When the mighty waves of trouble

Surge around thy stricken soul,

 Have faith in God.

 Who reigns above;

 Yea, trust in Him,

For He is love.

When the way is rough and thorny,

Danger all along the path,

When the foe is ever planning

How to crush thee in his wrath,

Have faith in God;

His loving care

 Shall keep thee safe

   From every snare.

When thine eyes are dim with weeping,

And thy heart is full of woe

For the loved that now are sleeping

In the silent grave so low,

Have faith in God;

The dead shall rise

And meet the Savior

From the skies.

Art thou filled with eager longing

For the night to pass away?

Art thou weary of the watching

For the dawning of the day?

Have faith in God;

He is our stay;

    Soon, soon will come

   The perfect day.

Art thou hoping, waiting, praying,

For the presence of the Lord?

Art thou waiting for the Kingdom,

And the glorious reward?

Have faith in God;

 Our King is here,

  And soon His glory

Will appear.
