Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #432 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 Away, my needless fears
And doubts no longer mine!
A ray of heavenly light appears,
A messenger divine.
2 Thrice comfortable hope,
That calms my stormy breast;
My Father's hand prepares the cup,
And what He wills is best.
3 He knows whate'er I want;
He sees my helplessness,
And always readier is to grant
Than I to ask His grace.
4 My fearful heart He reads,
Secures my soul from harms,
And underneath His mercy spreads
Its everlasting arms.
5 Here is firm footing; here,
My soul, is solid rock,
To break the waves of grief and fear,
And trouble's rudest shock:
6 This only can sustain
When earth and heaven remove:
O turn thee to thy Rest again,
Thy God's eternal Love! Topics: The Christian Life Trust in God and Providence; Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: MORAVIA
Away, my needless fears
