In every trying hourMy soul to Jesus flies;I trust in his almighty powerWhen swelling billows rise.

2

His comforts bear me up;I trust a faithful God;The sure foundation of my hopeIs in my Saviour's blood.

3

Loud hallelujahs singTo our Redeemer's name;In joy or sorrow, life or death,His love is still the same.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «735» (large) in the right column of p. 238, under «Anne Steele.» of hymn 734, with the italic reference line «384, 236, 558.» beside it (= sing to the tunes of hymns 384, 236 or 558); three stanzas of four lines, numbered «1»–«3» without periods (written «1.»–«3.» here, as in the other deliveries of this book); lines 2 and 4 of each stanza indented; «Anon.» in italics, right-aligned, at the foot of the column. The first word «IN» is set in capitals and small capitals (written «In» here). The print sets a thin space before «;» («flies ;», «up ;», «God ;», «name ;»); it is closed up here. No meter is printed (the text is S. M., 6.6.8.6, like the three reference tunes). Spelling («Saviour's»), punctuation and capitals are the print's.
