| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Trustfulness | | By J. Leonard Levy |
| | | | Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and rely not on thine own understanding.—Prov. iii: 5. |
|
|
THOU, God, the only God, | |
| Father of all! | |
| Thou gladly hearest us | |
| If we but call. | |
| When sin controls with power, | 5 |
| When fears our hopes devour, | |
| In sorrow’s chastening hour, | |
| Be Thou e’er nigh. | |
| |
| Oft we forget Thy love, | |
| O God most kind! | 10 |
| Oft we neglect Thy law, | |
| Light to the blind. | |
| Our every joy is Thine, | |
| Gift of Thy grace divine, | |
| Long let Thy mercy shine | 15 |
| On us below. | |
| |
| Thou Master of all worlds, | |
| Of all adored! | |
| Aid us to do Thy will, | |
| Eternal Lord! | 20 |
| Let not Thy love depart, | |
| Enter the prayerful heart, | |
| With wrong we then shall part | |
| For evermore. | |
| |
| Where’er Thou leadest us, | 25 |
| O Thou most High! | |
| Humbly we follow Thee, | |
| To do or die. | |
| Should’st Thou our path make bright, | |
| Should’st Thou afflict with blight, | 30 |
| Yet both by day and night | |
| We trust in Thee. | | | |
