What mean these jealousies and fears

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #301 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears, As if the Lord were loth to save? Or lov'd to see us steep'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave. 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or crush them with an iron rod? Is he refresh'd to hear us groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God? 3 Not all th' iniquities thou'st wrought, So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought,-- That he's unwilling to forgive.

Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try! Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation; The sinner trusting in God
