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