My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless His works and bless His word; Thy works of grace, how bright they shine, How deep Thy counsels– how divine! 4. But oh! what triumph shall I raise To Thy dear name, thro' endless days, When in the realms of joy I see Thy face in full felicity. [5.] Sin, my worst enemy before, Shall vex my eyes and ears no more; My inward foes shall all be slain, Nor Satan break my peace again.

Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed, For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, upheld by my righteous, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 4. When thro' the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not thee o'erflow, For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee, and sanctify to thee, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 5. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I cannot, desert to his foes; That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, I'll never, no never, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!

Five bleeding wounds He bears, Received on Calvary; They pour effectual pray'rs; They strongly speak for me; "Forgive him, oh! forgive," they cry, "nor let the ransomed sinner die!" 4. The Father hears Him pray, His dear Anointed One; He cannot turn away From His beloved Son; His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God. 5.
