Trust the LORD
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Let not the steadfast love,
Faithfulness forsake you;
Bind to your heart thereof,
His Word you know as true.
For mercy and the truth,
That you will find favor;
Good success since your youth,
God being your Savior.
Good success in His sight,
Brings good understanding;
The trust in the Lord might,
What He is demanding.
Lean not unto your own,
Acknowledge Him always;
The path straight to His throne,
What awaits who obeys.
With your eyes be not wise,
Turn away from evil;
Satan loves to disguise,
Methods to defile.
Good health unto your bone,
Allow your flesh to heal;
Confession will atone,
Giving spiritual zeal.
Honor God with your wealth,
Firstfruits of your labor;
God promises good health,
Restful night to slumber.
Then your barns will be filled,
Your vats will overflow;
While being instilled,
Flourishing crops you grow.
