A Hymn of Trust

Author: Miss H. O. Knowlton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #453 (1890) First Line: I cannot tell if short or long Lyrics: 1 I cannot tell if short or long My earthly journey be; But, all the way, I know thy rod And staff will comfort me. 2 Though fierce temptations lie in wait, What need have I to care? Thou wilt not suffer them to hurt Beyond my strength to bear. 3 What storms may beat, what burdens fall, My soul would not avoid; Who follows thee, O Lord, may be Cast down, but not destroyed. 4 Though over steep and rugged ways My weary feet be brought, Still following where thy footprints lead, I take no anxious thought. 5 Oh, perfect peace! oh, endless rest! No care, no vain alarms; Beneath my every cross I find The Everlasting Arms.

William F. Sherwin

1826 - 1888 Person Name: Wm. F. Sherwin Composer of "TRUST" in The Mission Hymnal. (Enlarged Edition) Sherwin, William Fisk, an American Baptist, was born at Buckland, Massachusetts, March 14,1826. His educational opportunities, so far as schools were concerned, were few, but he made excellent use of his time and surroundings. At fifteen he went to Boston and studied music under Dr. Mason: In due course he became a teacher of vocal music, and held several important appointments in Massachusetts; in Hudson and Albany, New York County, and then in New York City. Taking special interest in Sunday Schools, he composed carols and hymn-tunes largely for their use, and was associated with the Rev. R. Lowry and others in preparing Bright Jewels, and other popular Sunday School hymn and tune books. A few of his melodies are known in Great Britain through I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, where they are given with his signature. His hymnwriting was limited. The following pieces are in common use:— 1. Grander than ocean's story (1871). The Love of God. 2. Hark, bark, the merry Christmas bells. Christmas Carol. 3. Lo, the day of God is breaking. The Spiritual Warfare. 4. Wake the song of joy and gladness. Sunday School or Temperance Anniversary. 5. Why is thy faith, 0 Child of God, so small. Safety in Jesus. Mr. Sherwin died at Boston, Massachusetts, April 14, 1888. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== Sherwin, W. F., p. 1055, i. Another hymn from his Bright Jewels, 1869, p. 68, is "Sound the battle cry" (Christian Courage), in the Sunday School Hymnary, 1905, and several other collections. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
