Perfect Trust

Oh, for the peace of a perfect trust,

My loving God, in thee;

Unwavering faith, that never doubts

Thou choosest best for me!

Best, though my plans be all upset;

Best, though the way be rough;

Best, though my earthly store be scant;

In Thee I have enough.

Best, though my health and strength be gone;

Though weary days be mine,

Shut out from much that others have;

Not my will, Lord, but Thine!

Oh, for the peace of a perfect trust

That looks away from all;

That sees Thy hand in everything,

In great events or small!
