Stanza 1
Away my needless fears,
And doubts no longer mine;
A ray of heavenly light appears,
A messenger divine.
Stanza 2
Thrice comfortable hope,
That calms my troubled breast;
My Father’s hand prepares the cup,
And what He wills is best.
Stanza 3
If what I wish is good,
And suits the will divine;
By earth and hell in vain withstood,
I know it shall be mine.
Stanza 4
Still let them counsel take
To frustrate His decree,
They cannot keep a blessing back
By heaven designed for me.
Stanza 5
Here then I doubt no more,
Bu in His pleasure rest,
Whose wisdom, love, and truth, and power
Engage to make me blest.
Stanza 6
To accomplish His design
The creatures all agree;
And all the attributes divine
Are now at work for me.
