Author: A. M. Toplady Hymnal: Laudes Domini #329 (1890) 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. Topics: Christian Experience; Christians Encouragements; Courage; Encouragements; Hope Under Despondency; Loving-Kindness; Christians Encouragements; Courage; Encouragements; Hope Under Despondency; Loving-Kindness Languages: English Tune Title: ALEXANDER
