About the Hymn

Daniel Webster Whittle (1840–1901), an American evangelist, wrote this hymn in 1883. The music, El Nathan, was composed by his friend James McGranahan (1840–1907), a leading gospel musician of the time.

The hymn’s theme of trust in Christ despite life’s uncertainties has kept it in many hymnals. Its combination of heartfelt words and a memorable melody has made it a lasting expression of faith.
