Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Laudes Domini #450 (1888) Scripture: Job 1:21 First Line: Thou very present Aid Lyrics: 1 Thou very present Aid
In suffering and distress,
The mind which still on thee is stayed,
Is kept in perfect peace.
2 The soul by faith reclined
On the Redeemer's breast,
'Mid raging storms, exults to find
An everlasting rest.
3 Sorrow and fear are gone,
Whene'er thy face appears;
It stills the sighing orphan's moan,
And dries the widow's tears.
4 Jesus, to whom I fly,
Doth all my wishes fill;
What though created streams are dry?
I have the fountain still.
5 Stripped of each earthly friend,
I find them all in One,
And peace and joy which never end,
And heaven, in Christ, alone. Topics: Afflictions; Christ Refuge; Christians Afflictions; Christians Privileges; Comfort; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Covenant Divine Languages: English Tune Title: THATCHER
