- 1Ye trembling souls! dismiss your fears;
- Be mercy all your theme;
- Mercy, which like a river flows
- In one continued stream.
- 2Fear not the powers of earth and hell:
- God will these powers restrain;
- His mighty arm their rage repel,
- And make their efforts vain.
- 3Fear not the want of outward good:
- He still for His provides,
- Grants them supplies of daily food,
- And gives them heaven beside.
- 4Fear not that He will e'er forsake,
- Or leave His work undone:
- He's faithful to His promises,
- And faithful to His Son.
- 5Fear not the terrors of the grave,
- Nor death's tremendous sting:
- He will from endless wrath preserve,
- To endless glory bring.
