A poem by Frances Ridley Havergal

Trust And Distrust

________________________________________________
Title:     Trust And Distrust
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal [More Titles by Havergal]

I.

DISTRUST thyself, but trust His grace;
It is enough for thee!
In every trial thou shalt trace
Its all-sufficiency.


II.

Distrust thyself, but trust His strength;
In Him thou shalt be strong:
His weakest ones may learn at length
A daily triumph-song.


III.

Distrust thyself, but trust His love;
Rest in its changeless glow:
And life or death shall only prove
Its everlasting flow.


IV.

Distrust thyself, but trust alone
In Him, for all--for ever!
And joyously thy heart shall own
That Jesus faileth never.


[The end]
