Twenty-second Sunday after Trinity
From Hymns of Love and Praise (1866)
In the Lord put I my trust,
He is gentle. He is just,
He my strength is. He my song.
And my crown will be ere long.
He may chasten and correct.
But He never can neglect;
May in faithfulness prove.
But He ne'er am cease to love.
While in Him my trust is true.
Fear not I what man can do,
Joy and health with me abide
While the Lord is on my side.
Thou my God art — I will praise
All Thy goodness, all my days,
I will even for Thy rod
Thank Thee, for Thou art my God!
Though Thou slay me I will trust.
Praise Thee, even from the dust.
Prove, and tell it as I prove.
Thine unutterable Love.
Therefore I the world defy,
While Thy hand and heart are nigh;
Now, O Lord, my helper be.
Send us now prosperity.
