When gloomy thoughts and fears

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #242 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian His Conversion Lyrics: 1 When gloomy thoughts and fears The trembling heart invade, And all the face of nature wears A universal shade: 2 Religion can assuage The tempest of the soul; And ev'ry fear shall lose its rage At her divine control. 3 Through life's bewilder'd way, Her hand unerring leads; And o'er the path her heav'nly ray A cheering lustre sheds. 4 When reason, tir'd and blind, Sinks helpless and afraid; Thou blest supporter of the mind, How pow'rful is thine aid! 5 O let me feel thy pow'r, And find thy sweet relief, To brighten ev'ry gloomy hour, And soften ev'ry grief.

Happy the man, whose wishes climb

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #243 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian His Conversion Lyrics: 1 Happy the man, whose wishes climb To mansions in the skies! He looks on all the joys of time With undesiring eyes. 2 In vain soft pleasure spreads her charms, And throws her silken chain; And wealth and fame invite his arms, And tempt his ear in vain. 3 He knows that all these glittering things Must yield to sure decay; And sees on time's extended wings How swift they flee away! 4 To things unseen by mortal eyes, A beam of sacred light Directs his view; his prospects rise All permanent and bright. 5 His hopes are fix'd on joys to come: Those blissful scenes on high Shall flourish in immortal bloom, When time and nature die.

Then shall I know nor guilt nor fear, If thou be still my friend. Languages: English
