Author: L. H. C. Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXIX (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: O my distrustful heart Lyrics: 1 O, my distrustful heart
How small thy faith appears!
But greater, Lord, thou art,
Than all my doubts and fears.
Did Jesus once upon me shine?
Then Jesus is forever mine.
2 Unchangeable his will,
Tho' dark may be my frame;
His loving heart is still
Eternally the same:
My soul thro' many changes goes;
His love no variation knows.
3 Thou, Lord, wilt carry on,
And perfectly perform
The work, thou hast begun
In me a sinful worm:
Midst all my fears, and sin, and woe,
Thy spirit will not let me go.
4 The bowels of thy grace
At first did freely move:
I still shall see thy face,
And feel that God is love.
Myself into thine arms I cast;
Lord, save, O save, my soul at last. Topics: The Eternal and Unchangeable Love of God, commemorated in Hymns of Thanksgiving Scripture: Psalm 42:11 Languages: English
