Though dark be my way, Since He is my Guide, ’Tis mine to obey, ’Tis His to provide; Though cisterns be broken, And creatures all fail, The word He hath spoken Shall surely prevail.

How bitter that cup No heart can conceive, Which He drank quite up, That sinners might live! His way was much rougher And darker than mine; Did Christ, my Lord, suffer, And shall I repine?

Since all that I meet Shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, The medicine, food; Though painful at present, ’Twill cease before long, And then, oh, how pleasant The conqueror’s song!
This song has become my prayer. Reading the life study of Matthew and oh Lord how I need to learn to just believe. O Lord be gone unbelief.
"If we would be associated with Christ we must repudiate ourselves and take Christ as everything. This is believing in Christ, and this believing is righteousness in the eyes of God. Do not try to do anything, simply believe in Christ. "
Oh what a hymn. This really moved me as I'm assured that God is with me. The words in the 2nd stanza 'the word he has spoken shall surely prevail' are so assuring.
What a wonderful, comforting and encouraging hymn, which I had never been familiar with until Pastor Alistair Begg referred to it in this morning's sermon.
