A Selection of Hymns ‎#CXXIV

CXXIV. Fear not, for I am with thee

1 And art thou with us, gracious Lord,
To dissipate our fear?
Dost thou proclaim thyself our God,
Our God for ever near?

2 Dost thou a Father's bowels feel
For all thy humble saints?
And is such friendly accents speak
To sooth their sad complaints?

3 Why droops our hearts? Why flow our eyes
While such a voice we hear;
Why rise our sorrows and our fears,
While such a friend is near?

4 To all thine other favors add
A heart to trust thy word;
And death itself shall hear us sing,
While resting on the Lord.
