Living by Faith

I care not to­day what

The mor­row may bring

If sha­dow or sun­shine or rain

The Lord I know rul­eth o’er ev­ery­thing

And all of my wor­ries are vain.

Living by faith in Je­sus ab­ove

Trusting

con­fid­ing in His great love;

From all harm safe in His shel­ter­ing arm

I’m liv­ing by faith and feel no alarm.

Though tem­pests may blow

And the storm clouds arise

Obscuring the bright­ness of life

I’m nev­er alarmed at the ov­er­cast skies—

The Mas­ter looks on at the strife.

I know that He safe­ly

Will car­ry me through

No mat­ter what ev­ils be­tide;

Why should I then care

Though the tem­pest may blow

If Je­sus walks close to my side.

Our Lord will re­turn for

His loved ones some day

Our trou­bles will then all be o’er;

The Mas­ter so gent­ly will lead us away

Beyond that blest heav­en­ly shore.
