When Gloomy Thoughts And Fears

Author: Anne Steele, 1716-1778 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When gloomy thoughts and fears The trembling heart invade, And all the face of nature wears A universal shade; 2 Religion can assuage The tempest of the soul; And every fear shall lose its rage At her divine control. 3 Through life’s bewildered way, Her hand unerring leads; And o’er the path her heavenly ray A cheering luster sheds. 4 When reason, tired and blind, Sinks helpless and afraid, Thou blest supporter of the mind, How powerful is thine aid! 5 Oh, let me feel thy power, And find thy sweet relief, To brighten every gloomy hour, And soften every grief.

There Is Beyond the Sky

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is beyond the sky A Heav’n of joy and love; And holy children when they die Go to that world above. 2 There is a dreadful hell, And everlasting pains; There sinners must with devils dwell In darkness, fire and chains. 3 Can such a wretch as I Escape this cursèd end? And may I hope whene’er I die I shall to Heav’n ascend? 4 Then will I read and pray, While I have life and breath; Lest I should be cut off today, And sent to endless death.

Vile Tempter, Quick Be Gone

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Vile tempt­er, quick be gone Lyrics: 1 Vile tempt­er, quick be gone, Thy snares are spread in vain; Thy fie­ry darts, to wound my soul, Retort on thee again. 2 Though in an an­gel’s form, Through the dis­guise I see; Thou art an ene­my to God, A cru­el foe to me. 3 Thine art­ful stra­ta­gems Shall teach me to be­ware; Great is thy cru­el­ty and rage, And great shall be my care. 4 Or should I fee­ble prove, Know, Jesus is my friend; Through Him thy base at­tempts shall fail, And in con­fu­sion end. 5 He con­quered on the cross, And will new con­quests gain; Begone, se­duc­er vile, be gone, Thy snares are spread in vain. Used With Tune: ORRINGTON Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton & Briggs, 1818)
