Come, Humble Saints, and Place Your Trust

lyricist: Benjamin Beddome (1717–1795)
Composer: Henry Baker, 1854

Come

hum­ble souls

and place your trust

In God

the faith­ful

wise and just;

His pro­mises will He ful­fill

To all who love and do His will.

When wrath o’er­whelms a guil­ty land

His cov’nant truth shall firm­ly stand

A sure re­treat

a strong de­fense

Nor shall you e’er be driv­en thence.

You He’ll in per­fect safe­ty keep

Amongst the num­ber of His sheep;

Or if in pub­lic griefs you share

His hand will still the faith­ful spare.
