Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 174 hymnals First Line: Away my unbelieving fear Lyrics: 1 Away, my unbelieving fear! Let fear to me no more take place! My savior doth not yet appear, He hides the brightness of his face: But shall I therefore let him go, And basely to the tempter yield? No, in the strength of Jesus no! I never will give up the shield. 2 Altho' the vine its fruits deny, Altho' the olive yield no oil, The withering fig-tree droop and die, The field illude the tiller's toil; The empty stall no herd afford, And perish all the bleating race; Yet I will triumph in the Lord, The God of my salvation praise. 3 Away, each unbelieving fera, Let Fear to cheering hope give place; My Savior will at length appear, And shew the brightness of his face: Tho now my prospects all be crost, My blooming hopes cut off I see, Still will I in my Jesus trust, Whose boundless love can reach to me. 4 In hope, believing against hope, His promis'd mercy will I claim, His gracious word shall bear me up, To seek salvation in his name: Sure, my dear Savior, bring it nigh! My soul shall then outstrip the wind, On wings of love mount up on high, And leave the world and sin behind.

I will trust and not be afraid

Author: Newton Appears in 258 hymnals First Line: Begone, unbelief Lyrics: 1 Begone unbelief, My savior is near, And for my relief Will surely appear: By pray'r let me wrestle, And he will perform, With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 2 Though dark be my way, Since he is my guide, 'Tis mine to obey, 'Tis his to provide; Though cisterns be broken, And creatures all fail, The word he has spoken Shall surely prevail. 3 His love in time past, Forbids me to think He'll leave me at last In trouble to sink; Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review, confirms his good pleasure To help me quite through. 4 Determin'd to save, He watch'd o'er my path When Satan's blind slave, I sported with death; And can he have taught me To trust in his name, And thus far have brought me To put me to shame? 5 Why should I complain Of want or distress Temptation or pain? He told me no less; The heirs of salvation, I knew from his word, Through much tribulation, Must follow their Lord. 6 How bitter that cup, No heart can conceive, Which he drunk quite up, That sinners might live! His way was much rougher, And darker than mine; Did Jesus thus suffer, And shall I repine? 7 Since all that I meet Shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, The med'cine is food; Though painful at present, 'Twill cease before long, And then, O how pleasant, The conqueror's song!
