Undismayed by any fortune

Author: Ambrosius Stub, 1705-1758; J. C. Aaberg Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: Undismayed by any fortune Life may have in store for me, This, whatever be my portion, I will always try to be. If I but in grace abide, Undismayed whate’er betide. Undismayed when others harry Mind and soul with anxious care; If the Lord with me will tarry, All my troubles disappear. If I but in grace abide, Undismayed whate’er betide. Undismayed when others sighing, Quail before the evil day, On God’s grace I am relying; Nothing can me then dismay. If I but in grace abide, Undismayed whate’er betide. Undismayed when others fearing, See the hour of death draw nigh. With the victor’s crown appearing, Why should I repine and sigh. If I but in grace abide, Undismayed whate’er betide. Dearest Lord, if I may treasure Thy abundant grace each day, I shall cherish Thy good pleasure, Be my portion what it may. If I but in grace abide, Undismayed whate’er betide.
