My Tante Jan sent me this old hymn this morning. Seems a perfect way to start a new and fresh week!
Trust Him When Thy Wants are Many
Lucy A. Bennett (1850-1927)
Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee,
Trust Him when they strength is small,
Trust Him when to simply trust Him
Seems the hardest things of all.
Trust Him! He is ever faithful;
Trust Him--for His will is best;
Trust Him --for the heart of Jesus
Is the only place of rest.
Trust Him, then, through cloud or sunshine,
All thy cares upon Him cast;
Til the storm of life is over;
And the trusting days are past.

Hi Wendi
I came across your old post today (8/29/18) because I was looking for information on the old hymn your friend sent you--Trust Him When Thy Wants are many. The song actually has 7 stanzas; you friend only sent you three. I know your post is old, but I thought you might want to have all the stanzas to the song which the ones your friend sent you in context. God Bless! The full song is:
Trust Him When Thy Wants are Many
Lucy Ann Bennett
Trust Him when thy wants are many;
Trust Him when thy friends are few;
And the time of swift temptation
Is the time to trust Him too.
Trust Him when thy soul is burdened
With the sense of all its sin;
He will speak the word of pardon,
He will make thee clean within.
Trust Him for the grace sufficient,
Ever equal to thy need;
Trust Him always for the answer,
When in His dear name you plead.
Trust Him for the grace to conquer,
He is able to subdue;
Trust Him for the power for service;
Trust Him for the blessing too.
Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee,
Trust Him when thy strength is small,
Trust Him when to simply trust Him
Seems the hardest thing of all.
Trust Him; He is ever faithful;
Trust Him, for His will is best;
Trust Him, for the heart of Jesus
Is the only place of rest.
Trust Him, then, through cloud or sunshine,
All thy cares upon Him cast,
Till the storm of life is over,
And the trusting days are past.
Oops...make that "WITH the ones your friend sent you in context." Sorry for the error.
