W. H. Burleigh (232/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

W. H. Burleigh STILL will we trust, though earth seem dark and dreary, And the heart faint beneath His chastening rod; Through rough and steep our pathway, worn and weary, Still will we trust in God. 2 Our eyes see dimly ’til by faith anointed, And our blind choosing brings us grief and pain; Through Him alone, who hath our way appointed, We find our peace again. 3 Choose for us, God, nor let our weak preferring Cheat us of good Thou hast for us designed: Choose for us, God; Thy wisdom is unerring. And we are fools and blind. 4 Let us press on, in patient self-denial, Accept the hardship, shrink not from the loss: Our portion lies beyond the hour of trial, Our crown beyond the cross.
