Uncertain how the way to find

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears; Doubting Christian Lyrics: 1 Uncertain how the way to find Which to salvation led, I list'ned long, with anxious mind, To hear what others said. 2 When some of joys and comforts told, I fear'd that I was wrong; For I was stupid, dead, and cold-- Had neither joy nor song. 3 Of fierce temptations others talk'd, Of anguish and dismay; Thro' what distresses they had walk'd, Before they found the way. 4 Ah! then I thought my hopes were vain For I had lived at ease; I wish'd for all my fears again, To make me more like these. 5 I had my wish--the Lord disclos'd The evils of my heart; And left my naked soul expos'd To satan's fi'ry dart. 6 Alas! "I now must give it up," I cry'd in deep despair; How could I dream of drawing hope From what I cannot bear! 7 Again my Saviour brought me aid, And when he set me free, "Trust simply on my word," he said, "And leave the rest to me."
