Written in response to the great uncertainty of our time, this hymn reminds us of the promises and blessings of protection we gain through our relationship to Jesus Christ. If we "look to Him in ev'ry thought," we can rest in the peace He promises us.
Though now the weight of darkness press
Thy Light, O Lord, yet pierces all.
Though hatred grieve and sin oppress
In Thee we shall not fail nor fall.
We shall not fear; we shall not doubt
Though storms of opposition rage,
But look to Thee in ev'rey thought
And in Thy peace, abide the day.
Though in this all uncertain hour.
We know not what tomorrow brings
Yet ever trust thy matchless pow'r
To bear us up on eagles' wings.
For with Thy blood we have been bought
And sealed with promise, in Thy Name.
We'll look to Thee in ev'ry thought
And bright with hope, abide the day.
Though now the heavy burdens wear,
We meekly bear all for Thy sake.
Though sorrow tempt us to despair,
We'll seek the solace of Thy grace,
'Til tried and proven we are brought
Into Thy rest, no more to stray.
We'll look to Thee in ev'ry thought,
And in Thine Arms, abide the day.
