I MUST NOT BE DISMAYED     

 

Don Fortner

 

(Tune: Breathe On Me, Breath Of God  #164 SM)

 

I must not be dismayed,

Though sorrows press me down;

My God will give the aid I need,

Though He may seem to frown.

 

In darkness and distress

His love's the same to me,

As in my times of happiness -

Immutable and free!

 

Though much afflicts my mind,

Sorrows will not destroy,

My Father will, as He designed,

Turn sorrows into joy!

 

Beneath my aching head

My Savior and my Friend

His everlasting arms has laid,

To comfort and defend.
