CONFIDENCE (IMPROMPTU ON THE ROAD TO WARWICK) by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: IN THEE I TRUST, ON THEE I REST
Last Line: THY POWER, THY LOVE, THY FAITHFULNESS.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
I.

IN Thee I trust, on Thee I rest,
O Saviour dear, Redeemer blest!
No earthly friend, no brother knows
My weariness, my wants, my woes.
On Thee I call,
Who knowest all.
O Saviour dear, Redeemer blest,
In Thee I trust, on Thee I rest.

II.

Thy power, Thy love, Thy faithfulness,
With lip and life I long to bless.
Thy faithfulness shall be my tower,
My sun Thy love, my shield Thy power,
In darkest night,
In fiercest fight.
With lip and life I long to bless
Thy power, Thy love, Thy faithfulness.
