Hymn 28 BE GONE, UNBELIEF Lyrics
1. Be gone, unbelief!
My Saviour is near,
And for my relief.
Will surely appear.
By prayer let me wrestle,
And He will perform
With Christ in the vessel,
I smile at the storm
2. If dark be my way,
Since He is my guide
‘Tis mine to obey.
‘Tis His to provide
Though cisterns be broken,
And creatures fail.
The word He hath spoken,
Shall surdly prevail.
3. His love in time past.
Forbids me to think
He’ll leave me at last,
In trouble to sink:
Each sweet Ebenezer,
I have in review
Confirms His Good Pleasure
To help me quite through.
4. Why should I complain
Of want or distress,
Temptation or pain?
He told me no less;
The heirs of salvation,
I know from His Word,
Through much tribulation
Must follow their Lord.
5
How bitter that cup
No heart can conceive,
Which He drank quite up,
That sinners might live!
His way was much rougher
And darker than mine;
Did Christ, my Lord, suffer,
And shall I repine?
6. Since all that I meet
Shall work for my good,
The bitter is sweet,
The medicine, food;
Though painful at present,
‘Twill cease before long,
And then, oh, how pleasant
The conqueror’s song!
