CCXLI. Peace in CHRIST amidst Tribulations.

by Philip Doddridge 1702–1751

From Hymns founded on various Texts in the Holy Scriptures (1755)

Religion

HEnceforth let each believing Heart
From anxious Sorrows cease:
Tho' Storms of Trouble rage around,
In Jesus we have Peace.

His Blood from Wrath to come redeems,
And his almighty Grace,
By bitt'rest Draughts of deep Distress,
Its healing Pow'r displays.

Jesus, our Captain, march'd before
To lead us to the Fight;
And now he reacheth out the Crown
With heav'nly Glories bright.

Lord, 'tis enough; thy Voice we hear;
That Crown by Faith we see:
No Sorrows shall o'erwhelm our Souls,
Since none divide from Thee.
