Away My Needless Fears

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9088 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Away my needless fears, And doubts no longer mine! A ray of heav’nly light appears, A messenger divine: Thrice comfortable hope That calms my stormy breast; My Father’s hand prepares the cup, And what He wills is best. 2 He knows whate’er I want, He sees my helplessness, And always readier is to grant Than I to ask His grace: My fearful heart He reads, Secures my soul from harms, And underneath His mercy spreads Its everlasting arms. 3 Here is firm footing; here, My soul, is solid rock, To break the waves of grief and fear, And trouble’s rudest shock: This only can sustain When earth and Heav’n remove: O turn thee to thy rest again, Thy God’s eternal love. 4 To God again I turn, And shelter in His breast, His will (let me rejoice or mourn) His will is surely best: His skill infallible, His providential grace, His power, and truth, that never fail, Shall order all my ways. 5 The random blows of chance, The being I defy, Whose life’s minutest circumstance, Is subject to His eye: He hears the ravens call; Nor can His children grieve, Nor can a worthless sparrow fall Without my Father’s leave. 6 Why then was I cast down, And troubled without cause, And trembled at the creature’s frown, And feared the threatened loss? Shall I mistrust His care My blessings to defend, Or dread (who cannot lose a hair) To lose a bosom friend? 7 If what I wish is good, And suits the will divine, By earth and hell in vain withstood, I know it shall be mine: Still let them counsel take To frustrate His decree, They cannot keep a blessing back By Heav’n designed for me. 8 If what my soul requires To me would evil prove, His love shall cross my fond desires, His kindly jealous love: But would I for His sake With every rival part, My life, my all, my friend give back? He knows, He knows my heart. 9 Here then I doubt no more, But in His pleasure rest, Whose wisdom, love, and truth and power Engage to make me blest; T’accomplish His design, The creatures all agree, And all the attributes divine Are now at work for me. 10 To know my final state I at His footstool bow, Who tells my soul the hand of fate Is on the curtain now! His will the veil withdraws, And while I lift my eyes, Discovers here a glorious cross, That draws me to the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA
