689 O child of the Kingdom in doubt and distress! 1. O child of the Kingdom in doubt and distress! Why linger-thy Father is waiting to bless? Assured of the mercy and love of thy Lord, Claim each precious promise, take God at His Word! Take God at His Word, Take God at His Word! Believe every promise, Take God at His Word! 2. Thy pathway through sorrows and trials may go, Though deep be the waters, they will not o'erflow; Oh, trust in the Savior, His name be adored! Confide in His promise, take God at His Word! 3. He says He will guide thee through sunshine and gloom; His presence shall brighten thy path to the throne; And down in death's valley His voice shall be heard: Fear not, tempted Christian, take God at His Word! 4. An heir to a kingdom, and promised a crown; With God thy protector-oh, why be cast down? Oh, think of the triumphs of faith thou hast heard; Be not unbelieving, take God at His Word!
