1 When skies are blue and days are fair
And when my heart is free from care,
When roses breathe their fragrance rare
My trust shall be in Thee,
My trust shall be in Thee.
When bright the dawning of my days,
When sinks the sun ‘mid crimson rays,
Along life’s fair and pleasant ways
My trust shall be in Thee,
My trust shall be in Thee.
2 When storms of life around me beat,
When in the midst of furnace heat,
I find in Thee a safe retreat,
My trust shall be in Thee,
My trust shall be in Thee.
Tho’ friends and dear ones may depart,
When sorrow fills my lonely heart,
Thou, Lord, will never from me part,
My trust shall be in Thee,
My trust shall be in Thee.
3 No matter what my life may bring
Of joy or pain or any thing,
My heart from day to day shall sing:
My trust shall be in Thee,
My trust shall be in Thee.
My faith in Thee shall never shake,
Thy promises Thou wilt not break
And Thou wilt never me forsake,
My trust shall be in Thee,
My trust shall be in Thee.
