PEACE, DOUBTING HEART Lyrics

Peace, doubting heart! my God's I am

Who formed me man, forbids my fear

The Lord hath called me by my name

The Lord protects, for ever near

His blood for me did once atone

And still He loves and guards His own

When passing through the watery deep

I ask in faith His promised aid

The waves all awful distance keep

And shrink from my devoted head

Fearless their violence I dare

They cannot harm, for God is there

To Him mine eye of faith I turn

And through the fire pursue my way

The fire forgets its power to burn

The lambent flames around me play

I own His power, accept the sign

And shout to prove the Savior mine

Still nigh me, O my Savior, stand

And guard in fierce temptation's hour

Hide in the hollow of Thy hand

Show forth in me Thy saving power

Still be Thy arms my sure defense

Nor earth nor hell shall pluck me thence

Since Thou hast bid me come to Thee

Good as Thou art, and strong to save

I'll walk o'er life's tempestuous sea

Upborne by the unyielding wave

Dauntless, though rocks of pride be near

And yawning whirlpools of despair

When darkness intercepts the skies

And sorrow's waves around me roll

When high the storms of passion rise

And half o'erwhelm my sinking soul

My soul a sudden calm shall feel

And hear a whisper, Peace; be still

Though in affliction's furnace tried

Unhurt on snares and death I'll tread

Though sin assail, and hell, thrown wide

Pour all its flames upon my head

Peace, doubting heart! my God's I am

The Lord hath called me by my name

Like Moses' bush, I'll mount the higher

And flourish unconsumed in fire
