TRUST AND DISTRUST by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: DISTRUST THYSELF, BUT TRUST HIS GRACE
Last Line: THAT JESUS FAILETH NEVER.
Subject(s): DISTRUST; JESUS CHRIST; LOVE; TRUST;

DISTRUST thyself, but trust His grace;
It is enough for thee!
In every trial thou shalt trace
Its all-sufficiency.

Distrust thyself, but trust His strength;
In Him thou shalt be strong:
His weakest ones may learn at length
A daily triumph-song.

Distrust thyself, but trust His love;
Rest in its changeless glow:
And life or death shall only prove
Its everlasting flow.

Distrust thyself, but trust alone
In Him, for all -- forever!
And joyously thy heart shall own
That Jesus faileth never.
