209. Hoping for a Revival

1 While I to grief my soul gave way,
To see the work of God decline,
Methought I heard the Saviour say,
"Dismiss thy fears, the ark is Mine.

2 Though for a time I hide my face,
Rely upon My love and power;
Still wrestle at a throne of grace,
And wait for a reviving hour."
