LyicsAway my doubts, begone my fear,
The wonders of the Lord appear;
The wonders which my Saviour wrought
O how delightful is the thought!
The wonders of Redeeming love,
When first my heart was drawn above,
Where first I saw my Saviour's face,
And triumph'd in his pard,ning grace.
Long had I mourn,d like one forgot,
Long had my soul for comfort sought;
Jesus was witness to my tears,
And Jesus sweetly calm'd my fears.
He cleans'd my soul, he chang'd my dress,
And cloth'd me with his right'ousness;
He spake at once my sins forgiv'n
And I rejoic'd as if in heav'n.
I then was struck with sweet surprise,
While glory shone before mine eyes,
How did I sing from day to day
And wish'd to sing my soul away.
The world, with all its pomp, withdrew,
Twas less than nothing in my view;
Redeeming grace was all my theme,
And life appear'd an idle dream.
These are the wonders I record,
The marv'lous goodness of my Lord;
And this is now my song of praise,
I now can triumph in his grace."
