LyicsBe still my heart, these anxious cares
To thee are burdens, thorns and snares;
They cast dishonor on thy Lord,
And contradict his gracious word.
Brought safely by his hand thus far,
Why wilt thou now give place to fear;
How canst thou want if he provide,
Or lose thy way, with such a guide?
Did trouble ever yet befal,
And he refuse to hear the call?
And has he not his promise past,
That thou shalt overcome at last?
Like David thou mayest comfort draw;
Saved from the bear's and lion's paw;
Goliah's rage I may defy,
For God my Saviour still is nigh.
He that has helped me hitherto,
Will help me all my journey through;
And give me daily cause to raise
New Ebenezer's to his praise.
Tho' rough and thorny be the road,
It leads me home apace to God;
Then count thy present trials small,
For heaven will make amends for all.
