Have Faith in God

Have faith in God! for He who reigns on highHath borne thy grief, and hears the suppliant's sigh;Still to His arms, thine only refuge, fly.Have faith in God!

Fear not to call on Him, O soul distressed!Thy sorrow's whisper woos thee to His breast:He who is oftenest there is oftenest blest.Have faith in God!

Lean not on Egypt's reeds; slake not thy thirstAt earthly cisterns. Seek the kingdom first.Though man and Satan fright thee with their worst,Have faith in God.

Go, tell Him all! The sigh thy bosom heavesIs heard in heaven. Strength and grace He gives,Who gave Himself for thee. Our Jesus lives.Have faith in God!
