LyicsLet anxious doubts be heard no more,
But Christ and joy be all your theme;
The spirit seals his gospel sure
To ev'ry soul that trusts his name.
Jesus thy witness speaks within
The mercy, which thy words reveal,
Refines the heart from sense and sin,
And stamps its own celestial seal.
'Tis God's renewing gracious band
That moulds and forms the heart anew,
Transgressors can no more withstand
But bow and own his doctrine true.
The guilty wretch that trusts thy blood
Finds peace and pardon at the cross;
The soul that was averse from God
Believes and loves his Maker's laws.
Let proud oppressors cease their strife,
And own, O Lord, the work is thine;
The voice, that calls the dead to life,
Must be almighty and divine.
