Hymn 273 PEACE DOUBTING HEART! Lyrics

1. Peace doubting heart! My God’s I am;
Who formed me man, forbids my fear,
The Lord hath called me by my name,
The Lord protects, forever near,
His blood for me did once atone,
And still He loves and guards His own.

2. When, passing through the watery deep,
I ask in faith His promised aid,
The waves an awful distance keep,
And shrink from my devoted head;
Fearless their violence I dare;
They cannot harm, for God is there.

3. To him mine eye of faith I turn.
And through the fire pursue my way;
The fire forgets its pursue my way
The lambent flames around me play;
I own His power, accept the sign
And shout to prove the Saviour mine.

4. Still nigh me, O my Saviour, stand!
And guard in fierce temptation’s hour,
Hide in the hollow of Thy hand,
Show firth in me Thy saving power
Still be Thy arms my sure defense,
Nor earth nor hell shall pluck me thence.

5. When darkness intercepts the skies
And sorrow’s waves around me roll,
When high he storms of passion rise,
And half o’erwhelm my sinking soul,
My soul a sudden calm shall feel,
And hear a whisper peace; be still.
