A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in short meter)
Isaiah 50:10 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
"Faith's Exercise"
1. Blest souls! who fear the Lord,
Who mourn the want of light,
Who yield obedience to His word,
Yet walk in gloomy night.
2. Trust His unchanging love,
Who walks behind the cloud;
Though heaven, and earth, and seas remove,
Thy hurt is not allow'd.
3. Trust Him when sorrows rise,
And providences frown;
Thy cov'nant God who built the skies,
Will send thee comfort down.
4. Trust in thy Father's hand,
All thy concerns below;
His purpose shall unshaken stand,
Though storms and tempests blow.
5. With Jesus trust thy soul,
And on His cov'nant think;
He who can winds and waves control,
Will never let thee sink.
6. Trust Him in life and death,
In light and darkness too;
For He, who hath redeem'd thee, saith,
He'll bring thee safely through.
