Trust and confidence; or, looking beyond present appearances

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fears and doubts removed First Line: Away my unbelieving fear Lyrics: 1 Away, my unbelieving fear! Let fear to me no more take place! My savior doth not yet appear, He hides the brightness of his face: But shall I therefore let him go, And basely to the tempter yield? No, in the strength of Jesus no! I never will give up the shield. 2 Altho' the vine its fruits deny, Altho' the olive yield no oil, The withering fig-tree droop and die, The field illude the tiller's toil; The empty stall no herd afford, And perish all the bleating race; Yet I will triumph in the Lord, The God of my salvation praise. 3 Away, each unbelieving fera, Let Fear to cheering hope give place; My Savior will at length appear, And shew the brightness of his face: Tho now my prospects all be crost, My blooming hopes cut off I see, Still will I in my Jesus trust, Whose boundless love can reach to me. 4 In hope, believing against hope, His promis'd mercy will I claim, His gracious word shall bear me up, To seek salvation in his name: Sure, my dear Savior, bring it nigh! My soul shall then outstrip the wind, On wings of love mount up on high, And leave the world and sin behind. Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17-18 Languages: English

Hence from my Soul, sad Thoughts, begone

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LXXIII (1766) Topics: Doubts and Fears suppressed Lyrics: 1 Hence from my Soul, sad Thoughts begone, And leave me to my Joys, My Tongue shall triumph in my God, And make a joyful Noise. 2 Darkness and Doubts had veil'd my Mind, And drown'd my Head in Tears, Till sov'reign Grace, with shining Rays, Dispell'd my gloomy Fears. 3 O what immortal Joys I felt, And Raptures all divine, When Jesus told me, I was his, And my Beloved, mine. 4 In vain the Tempter frights my Soul, And breaks my Peace in vain; One Glimpse, dear Saviour, of thy Face Revives my Joys again.

Come, Children, learn to fear the Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P34d (1766) Topics: Fears and doubts suppressed Lyrics: 1 Come, Children, learn to fear the Lord And that your Days be long, Let not a false or spiteful Word Be found upon your Tongue. 2 Depart from Mischief, practise Love, Pursue the Works of Peace; So shall the Lord your Ways approve, And set your Souls at Ease. 3 His Eyes awake to guard the Just, His Ears attend their Cry; When broken Spirits dwell in Dust, The GOD of Grace is nigh. 4 What tho' the Sorrows here they taste Are sharp and tedious too, The Lord who saves them all at last, Is their Supporter now. 5 Evil shall smite the Wicked dead; But GOD secures his own, Prevents the Mischief when they slide, Or heals the broken Bone. 6 When Desolation, like a Flood, O'er the proud Sinner rolls, Saints find a Refuge in their God, For he redeem'd their Souls.
