Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCLXXXVIII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Anxious, I strove to find the way Lyrics: 1 Anxious, I strove to find the way
Which to salvation led;
I listen'd long, I try'd to pray,
And heard what many said.
2 When some of joys and comforts told,
I fear'd that I was wrong;
For I was stupid, dead, and cold,
Had neither joys nor song.
3 The Lord my lab'ring heart reliev'd,
And made my burden light;
Then for a moment I believ'd,
And thought that all was right.
4 Of fierce temptations others talk'd,
Of anguish and dismay;
Thro' what distresses they had walk'd,
Before they found the way.
5 Ah! then I thought my hopes were vain,
For I had liv'd at ease;
I wish'd for all my fears again,
To make me more like these.
6 I had my wish, the Lord disclos'd
The evils of my heart;
And left my naked soul expos'd
To Satan's fiery dart.
7 Alas! I cry'd in deep despair,
Borne down with fearful pain!
How can I these fierce terrors bear,
And who will now sustain!
8 Again my Saviour brought me aid,
And when he set me free,
"Trust simply on my word," he said,
"And leave the rest to me."
