Him wilt Thou keep in perfect peace

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Despondency Lyrics: Him wilt Thou keep in perfect peace, Whose mind is stay'd on Thee; Me, Lord, from pining care release, And vain perplexity. 187 'Tis not the bleeding wounds of grief, Whose anguish I bemoan; An evil heart of unbelief, A cold, hard heart of stone;-- O'er this, in loneliness, I wake, And darkness to be felt, Since Sinai's thunders cannot break, Nor Calvary's sufferings melt. Uncheer'd with hopes, unawed by fears, All comfort banish'd hence, O for a burst of contrite tears! A pang of penitence! O for one grain of saving faith, Upspringing in my breast! "Come unto Me," my Saviour saith, "And I will give thee rest." I hear, I know the joyful sound; I fly that call to meet, And find, what all who sought have found Rest at His blessed feet.

How great! the promise! could these greater be? "Ask what thou wilt, it shall be done for thee!" 3 "Ask what thou wilt," but oh, remember this, We ask and have not, for we ask amiss When, weak in faith, we only half believe That what we ask we really shall receive. 4 Increase our faith, and clear our vision, Lord; Help us to take thee at thy simple word, No more with cold distrust to bring thee grief; Lord, we believe! help thou our unbelief.
