Trusting Theme

Tune: Rodmell

('All things which live below the sky')

Psalm 118 parts

*********

It is better [to] trust in the LORD

For He [e'er] the living Word

Than to put confidence in man

Who only small help can

 

The LORD He be my strength and song

I praise Him all day long

He is become my salvation

Through Christ His only Son

 

This is the day the LORD has made

Here His wonders displayed

We will rejoice in each today

Follow on in His way

 

Save now, we pray, O LORD, humbly

Come before you now we

And too do send prosperity

We worship gratefully

 

You are our God, we will you praise

Will exalt your name, it raise

Give thanks to you, for good you are

Your mercy endures far

        Trust so special but when lost can be so hard to regain.

          Thanks Gold. I admit at times, I go on writing, and 'trust' seems to be a frequent theme. Then I should stop at times, and say T myself 'What about me - do I trust really?' or just in the easy times?'
