Despite my care, my doubts and fears,
start
Earth’s phy­si­cians know not to heal thee,
When they shall ap­pear.
Here I live or here I die.
For we have the same life,
Jesus died for me.
My Mas­ter will be there.
Soon there will be ex­ceed­ing weight of glo­ry
Dropping down the ed­dy­ing riv­er,
Dare to stand among the few,
Recommended and anointed, tested,
We are a band of mer­ry, mer­ry child­ren,
We ask, Who among us is on the Lord’s side?
Nor count him guil­ty when he stands
Of pro­phets, priests and kings, an­gels and God.
His yoke is hard to bear.
Light for­ev­er­more.
Something new;

tried

Oh! the ter­ri­ble tide
I’ve al­ways tried to do my best,
As gold and sil­ver tried,
Human agen­cies ne’er can cleanse thee,
Will the Mas­ter say;
Many ways to ease my pain;
We are one!
Tried to break the tempt­er’s chain,
Well I know that He
Count it all joy, count it all joy,
Dropping down the pe­ril­ous riv­er,
For the vic­t’ry may de­pend on you.
Jesus, kingly Savior!
Happy am I, the bird is sing­ing,
Who’ll stand by His col­ors—who’s on the Lord’s side?
Wait on the Lord and keep His way;
There Christ was cru­ci­fied, in Pal­es­tine.
Its pros­pects all de­ceive;
Feel the hopes of life sub­side,
But when I be­gin,
