Hymns About Trusting God in Trust and Commitment

When I am lonely, he comforts me.
When I am tired of the load that I am bearing,
He gives me courage, courage, courage to bear my share.”

Leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.”

16. He Leadeth Me
“Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s flowers bloom,
By waters calm, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.”

17. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need
“When I walk through the shades of death
Thy presence is my stay;
One word of Thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.
Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,
Doth still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Thine oil anoints my head.”
(Isaac Watts, 1719, based on Psalm 23)
18. ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
“Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
How I’ve proved him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust him more!”
(Louisa Stead, 1882)
19. Whate’er My God Ordains Is Right
“Whate’er my God ordains is right:
Though now this cup, in drinking,
May bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it, all unshrinking.
My God is true; each morn anew
Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
And pain and sorrow shall depart.”
(Samuel Rodigast, 1675, Translated by Catherine Winkworth, 1827–1878)
Hope-Filled Hymns About Trusting God in Hard Times
20. On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand
“No chilling winds or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.”
(Samuel Stennett, 1787)
21. There Is a Hope
“There is a hope that lifts my weary head,
A consolation strong against despair,
That when the world has plunged me in its deepest pit,
I find the Savior there!
Through present sufferings, future’s fear,
He whispers ‘courage’ in my ear.
For I am safe in everlasting arms,
And they will lead me home.”
(Stuart Townend and Mark Edwards, 2007)
