Trust and Distrust

Distrust thyself, but trust His grace ;
It is enough for thee !
In every trial thou shalt trace
Its all-sufficiency.

Distrust thyself, but trust His strength ;
In Him thou shalt be strong :
His weakest ones may learn at length
A daily triumph-song.

Distrust thyself, but trust His love ;
Rest in its changeless glow :
And life or death shall only prove
Its everlasting flow.

Distrust thyself, but trust alone
In Him, for all — for ever !
And joyously thy heart shall own
That Jesus faileth never.
