Hymn Fear Not

549 Fear not CM

YE trembling souls, dismiss your fears,
Be mercy all your theme;
Mercy, which like a river flows,
In one perpetual stream.


2 ‘Fear not’ the powers of earth and hell,
God will those powers restrain;
His arm shall all their rage repel,
And make their efforts vain.

3 ‘Fear not’ the want of outward good
For his he will provide;
Grant them supplies of daily food
And give them heaven beside.

4 ‘Fear not’ that he will e’er forsake,
Or leave his work undone;
He’s faithful to his promises,
And faithful to his Son.

5 ‘Fear not’ the terrors of the grave,
Or death’s tremendous sting;
He will from endless wrath preserve,
To endless glory bring.
