Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
2 Though we pass through tribulation,
All will be well:
Ours is such a full salvation;
All, all is well:
Happy, still in God confiding,
Fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
Holy, through the Spirit’s guiding,
All must be well.
3 We expect a bright to-morrow;
All will be well;
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
All, all is well;
On our Father’s love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
Or in living, or in dying,
All must be well.

Trust in God amid perils.
In time of fear,
When trouble’s near,
I look to thine abode;
Though helpers fail,
And foes prevail,
I’ll put my trust in God.
2 And what is life
But toil and strife?
What terror has the grave?
Thine arm of power,
In peril’s hour,
The trembling soul will save.
3 In darkest skies,
Though storms arise,
I will not be dismayed:
O God of light,
And boundless might,
My soul on thee is stayed!

Acquaint now thyself with him.
Job. 22:21.
Acquaint thee, O mortal, acquaint thee with God,
And joy, like the sunshine, shall beam on thy road;
And peace, like the dewdrop, shall fall on thy head,
And sleep, like an angel, shall visit thy bed.
2 Acquaint thee, O mortal, acquaint thee with God;
And he shall be with thee when fears are abroad;
Thy safeguard in danger that threatens thy path;
Thy joy in the valley and shadow of death.

Heb. 12:2.
O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore,
Look off unto Jesus; now sorrow no more:
The light of his countenance shineth so bright,
That here, as in heaven, there need be no night.
2 While looking to Jesus, my heart can not fear;
I tremble no more when I see Jesus near;
I know that his presence my safeguard will be,
For, “Why are you troubled?” he saith unto me.
3 Still looking to Jesus, O, may I be found,
When Jordan’s dark waters encompass me round:
They bear me away in his presence to be;
I see him still nearer whom always I see.
4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace
Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face;
Shall know how his love went before me each day,
And wonder that ever my eyes turned away.
791 10s.
Complete in Christ.
Long did I toil, and knew no earthly rest;
Far did I rove, and found no certain home;
At last I sought them in his sheltering breast,
Who opes his arms, and bids the weary come:
With him I found a home, a rest divine;
And I since then am his, and he is mine.
