Hymn of Trust
(Kristin Fisher)
2001
words by Oliver Wendell Holmes/ music by Chris Dincher
Chris stumbled upon this poem in a 1930’s textbook and wanted to share it with others.
O love divine that stooped to share our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear ~ On thee we cast each earth-born care ~ We smile at pain while Thou art near ~ Though long the weary way we tread, and sorrow crown each lingering year ~ No path we shun, no darkness dread, our hearts still whispering Thou art near ~ When drooping pleasure turns to grief, and trembling faith is changed to fear ~ The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf shall softly tell us Thou are near ~ On thee we fling our burdening woe ~ O love divine forever dear ~ Content to suffer while we know, living and dying…Thou are near ~ Thou are near ~ Thou art near.
