Author: C. Louise Bell Hymnal: The Kingdom of Praise #74 (1920) First Line: Christ is beside thee Refrain First Line: Trust in Christ thy guide Lyrics: 1 Christ is beside thee, Ready to guide thee, He will give thee joy for sorrow, Lean on His arm; Words He has spoken Cannot be broken, There’s a promise for the morrow, Nothing can harm. Refrain: Trust in Christ Thy guide, In His love confide, Peace and hope above In the heart that trusts Him ev’ry day; Best and truest Friend! Trust Him to the end, Till thine eyes behold the glory When the shadows flee away. 2 Follow His guiding, Sweetly confiding, Ev’ry path that may seem dreary Leads thee above; Skies will be brighter, Loads will be lighter, Even when thy feet are weary, Trust in His love. [Refrain] 3 Hope that’s eternal, Joy that’s supernal, May be found beyond the portal, They will be thine; After earth’s sadness, Heaven’s own gladness, In the land of life immortal, Glory divine!
