Now I Can Read My Title Clear

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,228 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I can read my title clear, To mansions in the skies. I bid farewell to ev'ry fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage, And hellish darts be hurled; Still I can smile at Satan's rage, And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, Let storms of sorrow fall; I know I'll safely reach my home, My God, my heav'n my all. 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul, In seas of heav'nly rest. And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast. Topics: Assurance Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:1 Used With Tune: FISHER
