Not a doubt nor a fear, not a sigh nor a tear, Can abide while we trust and obey.

[Refrain] 4 But we never can prove the delights of His love, Until all on the altar we lay, For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows, Are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain] 5 Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet, Or we’ll walk by His side in the way; For the favor He shows, and the joy He bestows Are for them who will trust and obey.

How did my heart rejoice to hear

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 301 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 2:3 Lyrics: 1 How did my heart rejoice to hear My friends devoutly say, In Zion let us all appear, And keep the solemn day. 2 I love her gates--I love the road; The church, adorned with grace, Stands like a palace built for God, To show his milder face. 3 Up to her courts, with joy unknown, The holy tribes repair: The Son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there. 4 He hears our praises and complaints, And while his awful voice Divides the sinners from the saints, We tremble and rejoice. 5 Peace be within this sacred place, And joy a constant guest; With holy gifts and heavenly grace Be her attendants blest! 6 My soul shall pray for Zion still, While life or breath remains; Here my best friends, my kindred dwell, Here God, my Saviour, reigns.

Shall all that now divides us Remove and pass away, Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day? 3 Shall all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove, A closer bond of union, In a blest land of love? Shall war be learned no longer, Shall strife and tumult cease, All earth his blessed kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace? 4 O long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray! When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on, To pray, and hope, and labor, Till the dark night be gone.
