LyicsYe trembling souls, dismiss your fears,
Be mercy all your theme;
Mercy which like a river flows
In one continued stream.
Fear not the powers of earth and hell,
God will these powers restrain;
His mighty arm their rage repel,
And make their efforts vain.
Fear not that he will e'er forsake,
Or leave his work undone;
He's faithful to his promises
In Jesus Christ his son.
Fear not the want of outward good,
He will for his provide;
Grant them supplies of daily food,
And give them heaven beside.
Fear not the terrors of the grave,
Or death's tremendous sting;
He will from endless wrath preserve,
To endless glory bring.
You, in his wisdom, power and grace,
May confidently trust;
His wisdom guides, his power protects,
His grace rewards the just.
