I Will Trust Him (Ackley)

Though I walk the shore that rims the ocean

Though I face the storm up­on the sea;

In the hands of love I rest se­cure­ly

For I know my Lord will care for me.

I will trust Him in the val­ley of the sha­dow

I will trust Him on the wild and stor­my sea;

I will trust Him any­where be­cause He loves me

I will trust Him through eter­ni­ty.

If He bids me walk with­in the val­ley

Where the dark­ness hides His bless­èd face

He will sure­ly keep my feet from fall­ing

While my soul is trust­ing in His grace.

If to lands un­known He bids me jour­ney

Or to lift the hea­vy load of care;

If I bear the cross for Him who suf­fered

In His glo­ry I shall have a share.

He has built a house of ma­ny man­sions

Where my long­ing soul at last shall rest;

When I rise com­plete in His per­fect­ion

I shall join the chor­us of the blest.
