Confidence 1. The Lord's almighty power still protects us; His faithfulness means we have nought to fear. "I long with all my heart to share your hours, I want to walk with you throughout the year." In spite of this, our hearts are still tormented, These evil days oppress the burden'd soul; Oh give, to our unrested fearful spirits, Redemption you've prepared to make us whole. Refrain: His power gives an overwhelming comfort; We wait in confidence, let come what may. In evening and in morning He is with us, His presence is for ev'ry dawning day. 2. Although You give sometimes a cup so bitter; With sorrow filled, up to the highest brim; We thankfully accept it; God has given, And only goodness ever comes from Him. You always want to fill us with Your gladness; This worldly glitter burns our weary eyes; We want to see the way that You have led us, And give our life to You, without disguise. (Refrain) 3. The quiet candle, keep it warmly burning; You gave it when the dark was at its height. So lead us, when You can, to be together, We always know Your light shines in the night. When deathly silence seems to be encroaching, Oh let us hear with clearness ev'ry tone; The unseen world is singing all around us: His children's praise, ascending to the throne. (Refrain)
