On the Good and Faithful

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: Spencer Lane, 1879

On the good and faith­ful God has set His love;

When they call He sends them bless­ings from ab­ove.

Stand in awe

and sin not

bid your heart be still;

Through the si­lent watch­es think up­on His will.

Lay up­on God’s al­tar good and lov­ing deeds

And in all things trust Him to sup­ply your needs.

Anxious and des­pair­ing

ma­ny walk in night;

But to those that fear Him God will send His light.

In God’s love ab­id­ing

I have joy and peace

More than all the wick­ed

though their wealth in­crease.

In His care con­fid­ing

I will sweet­ly sleep.

For the Lord

my Sav­ior

will in safe­ty keep.
