Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #267 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Courage, my soul! while God is near Lyrics: 1 Courage, my soul! while God is near,
What enemy hast thou to fear?
How canst thou want a sure defense,
Whose refuge is Omnipotence?
2 Tho' thickest dangers crowd my way,
My God can chase my fears away:
My steadfast heart on him relies,
And all those dangers still defies.
3 Tho' billows after billows roll,
To overwhelm my sinking soul;
Firm as a rock my faith shall stand,
Upheld by God's almighty hand.
4 In life, his presence is my aid;
In death, 'twill guide me thro' the shade;
Chase all my rising fears away,
And turn my darkness into day. Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces; Confidence in God Languages: English
