[God has given me a song, a song of trust] (Whyte)
A Song of Trust
Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: God has given me a song Refrain First Line: I sing a song, a song of trust Lyrics: 1 God has given me a song,
A song of trust’
And I sing it all day long,
For sing I must;
Ev’ry hour it sweeter grows,
Keep my soul with blest repose;
Just how restful no one knows,
But those who trust, but those who trust.
Refrain:
I sing a song, a song of trust,
For sing I must;
And soon I’ll stand at thy right hand,
My Savior dear, my ransom price,
And sing the song of Paradise.
2 O I sing it on the mountain,
In the light,
Where the radiance of God’s sunshine,
Makes all bright;
All my path seems bright and clear,
Heav’nly land seems very near;
Why, I almost then appear
To walk by sight, to walk by sight. [Refrain]
3 And I sing it in the valley
Dark and low;
When my heart is crushed with sorrow,
Pain, and woe;
Then the shadows flee away,
Like the night when dawns the day;
Trust in God brings light alway—
I find it so, I find it so. [Refrain]
4 For I’ve cross’d the river Jordan,
And I stand
In the blessed land of promise,—
Beulah land!
Trusting is like breathing here,
Just so easy doubt and fear
Vanish in this atmosphere,
And life is grand, and life is grand. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [God has given me a song]

John M. Whyte
1850 - 1927 Person Name: J. M. Whyte Composer of "[God has given me a song]" in The Finest of the Wheat John M. (Marchant) Whyte. Evangelist, hymn writer, singer, b Paris, Canada West (Ontario), 8 Jun 1850, d Toronto 17 Mar 1927. He studied at the University of Toronto and devoted himself to evangelistic and temperance work. Typical of several hundred songs for which he wrote the words or the music, or both, are 'Canada Shall Yet Be Free,' 'Toronto the Good,' and 'Song of Trust.' Many songs appeared in separate editions published by Toronto News Co or Briggs. With his brother David Albert Whyte he edited Sing Out the Glad News (Briggs 1885) and Songs of Calvary (Briggs 1889). The Great Redemption (Briggs 1894), Nuggets of Gold (Briggs 1898) and Battle Songs of the Cross (1901) contain many of his own melodies. Eight of his hymns are reprinted in CMH vol 5. The editor of the reprint, John Beckwith, has concluded that 'Come Away to Jesus Now' and 'Jesus Is Calling You Now' may have enjoyed a measure of popularity.
