I Will Uphold Thee

O pro­mise sweet! He lead­eth me

O’er wa­ters wild and deep;

I will not fear the rag­ing sea

If He my soul doth keep.

I will trust in the pro­mise of my Sav­ior

I will trust in the pro­mise of my Sav­ior

I will trust in the pro­mise of my Sav­ior

And He will lead me home.

Sometimes He leads o’er mount­ain height

Or val­leys dark and drear;

Yet

worn and wea­ry

in the night

His bless­èd voice I hear.

Sometimes He leads by wa­ters still

Where all is peace and love;

And qui­et joys my bo­som fill

Like that sweet rest ab­ove.

It mat­ters not if sha­dows lie

Upon my path­way here;

A gold­en light il­lumes my sky

If on­ly God is near.
