A Classic Hymn

If Thou But Suffer God to Guide Thee

If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
And hope in Him thro’ all thy ways,
He’ll give the strength, whate’er betide thee,
And bear thee thro the evil days;
Who trusts in God’s unchanging love
Builds on the rock that naught can move.

Obey, thou restless heart, be still
And wait in cheerful hope, content
To take whate’er His gracious will,
His all discerning love hath sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.

Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways;
But do thine own part faithfully.
Trust His rich promises of grace,
So shall they be fulfilled in thee.
God never yet forsook in need
The soul that trusted Him indeed.


Georg Neumark
(written at age 20, based on Psalm 55:22)
