LyicsLet anxious doubts be heard no more,
But Christ and joy be all our 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 hand,
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.
