The Psalter ‎#152

152. Fear and Faith

1 What time I am afraid
I put my trust in Thee;
In God I rest, and praise
His word, so rich and free.

2 In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm
With God my helper near.

3 In God the Lord, I rest,
His word of grace I praise,
His promise stands secure,
Nor fear nor foe dismays.

4 Upon me are Thy vows,
O God, in Whom I live;
The sacrifice of praise
To Thee I now will give.

5 For Thou hast saved from death,
From falling kept me free,
That in the light of life
My walk may be with Thee.
