| | | HOPE for the salvation of the Lord, | |
| In Him I trust, when fears my being thrill; | |
| Come life, come death, according to his word, | |
| He is my portion still. | |
. . . . . . . Him will I serve, His am I as of old; | 5 |
| I ask not to be free. | |
. . . . . . . Sweet is ev’n sorrow coming in His name, | |
| Nor will I seek its purpose to explore; | |
| His praise will I continually proclaim, | |
| And bless Him evermore. | 10 | | | |
