Hymn 65

1. If you but let the Father guide you,
   relying on his faithfulness,
   he will be evermore beside you
   in all your sorrow and distress.
   He who on God Most High depends
   builds not his house on shifting sands.
   
   
2. Will anxious care or bitter sighing
   at any time give true relief?
   And what avails us our decrying
   each morning’s evil, trouble, grief?
   We only add to grief and stress
   by discontent and bitterness.
   
   
3. Be still! What God in his good pleasure
   to you in wisdom may impart
   is given you in perfect measure;
   thus be content within your heart.
   To him who chose us for his own
   our needs and wants are surely known.
   
   
4. With song and prayer, in faith progressing,
   in all you do God’s will obey.
   Expect from him alone your blessing:
   he will renew it every day,
   for God will never those disown
   who put their trust in him alone.
