AWAY, my unbelieving fear! L. M. Fear shall in me no more have place; My Saviour doth not yet appear, He hides the brightness of his face: But shall I therefore let him go, And basely to the tempter yield? No, in the strength of Jesus, no, I never will give up my shield. 2 Although the vine its fruit deny, Although the olive yield no oil, The with'ring fig-trees droop and die, The fields elude the tiller's toil,The empty stall no herd afford, And perish all the bleating race, Yet will I triumph in the Lord,— The God of my salvation praise. 3 In hope, believing against hope, To me he soon shall bring it nigh; 785 C. M. Casting all your care upon Him. STI His mighty arm shall bear thy soul, 2 Ne'er will the Lord his aid deny 786 TH Glorying in tribulations. C. M. HEE, Jesus, full of truth and grace, Thee in affliction's furnace praise, And magnify thy power. 2 Thy power, in human weakness shown, Shall make us all entire; We now thy guardian presence own, 3 Thee, Son of man, by faith we see, 4 The fire our graces shall refine, 787 Fearless in the furnace of affliction. C. M. OD of thine Israel's faithful three, G Who braved the tyrant's ire, Who nobly scorn'd to bow the knee, And stand, O Son of man, confess'd 2 While thou, Almighty Lord, art nigh, My soul disdains to fear ; Both sin and Satan I defy, Still impotently near; The earth and hell their wars may wage, I mark their vain design: And calmly smile to see them rage 788 S. M. The unchangeable truth and love of Jesus. (UBMISSIVELY, my God, SUBM I all to thee resign, And bow before thy chast'ning rod; 2 Why should my heart complain, 3 How short my suff'rings here ; 4 Then give, or take away, 789 1st P. M. 6 lines 8s. Steadfast reliance and confident anticipation. HOUGH waves and storms go o'er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone; THO Though joys be wither'd all, and dead, 2 Fix'd on this ground will I remain, When earth's foundations melt away; Mercy's full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting Love. 790 PEAC 1st P.
