Peace, troubled soul, thou need not veer,
Jesus says He will be with us to the end.
Thy Great Provider still is near,
Jesus says He will be with us to the end.
Chorus:
And He has been with us,
And He yet is with us,
And He’s promised to be with us to the end.
Who fed thee last, will feed thee still,
Be calm and sink into His will.
(Chorus)
The Lord, who build the earth and sky,
In mercy stoops to hear thy cry.
(Chorus)
His promise all may freely claim,
Ask, and receive in Jesus’ name.

In mercy stoops to hear thy cry.
