Our salvation near

Author: A. M. Toplady Appears in 356 hymnals Topics: Hope Under Despondency; Hope Under Despondency First Line: Your harps, ye trembling saints Lyrics: 1 Your harps, ye trembling saints, Down from the willows take: Loud to the praise of love divine Bid every string awake. 2 Though in a foreign land, We are not far from home; And nearer to our house above We every moment come. 3 His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the spark divine. 4 When we in darkness walk, Nor feel the heavenly flame, Then is the time to trust our God, And rest upon his name. 5 Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside at his control; His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul. 6 Blest is the man, O God, Who stays himself on thee; Who waits for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see.

"Looking unto Jesus"

Author: John N. Darby Appears in 153 hymnals Topics: Hope Under Despondency; Hope Under Despondency First Line: O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of his countenance shineth so bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no night. 2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear; I tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that his presence my safeguard will be, For, "Why are you troubled," he saith unto me. 3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round; They bear me away in his presence to be: I see him still nearer whom always I see. 4 Then, then, shall I know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face; Shall know how his love went before me each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turned away.

Yet heaven, and earth, and hell Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 4 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work has wrought, That caused thy needless fear.

Isaiah 40:28-31

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 406 hymnals Topics: Hope Under Despondency; Hope Under Despondency First Line: Awake, our souls! away, our fears! Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away, our fears! Let every trembling thought be gone; Awake, and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on! 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, Who feeds the strength of every saint 3 The mighty God, whose matchless power Is ever new and ever young. And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run. 4 From thee, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply; While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away, and droop, and die. 5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amid the heavenly road!
