Ye Trembling Souls! Dismiss Your Fears

lyricist: Benjamin Beddome (1717–1795)
Composer: George Kingsley (1811–1884)

Ye trem­bling souls! dis­miss your fears;

Be mer­cy all your theme;

Mercy

which like a riv­er flows

In one per­pe­tu­al stream.

Fear not the pow­ers of earth and hell:

God will these pow­ers re­strain;

His migh­ty arm their rage re­pel

And make their ef­forts vain.

Fear not the want of out­ward good:

For His He will pro­vide

Grant them sup­plies of dai­ly food

And give them Heav’n be­side.

Fear not

that He will e’er for­sake

Or leave His work un­done:

He’s faith­ful to His pro­mis­es

And faith­ful to His Son.

Fear not the ter­rors of the grave

Or death’s tre­men­dous sting:

He will from end­less wrath pre­serve

To end­less glo­ry bring.

You in His wis­dom

pow­er

and grace

May con­fi­dent­ly trust:

His wis­dom guides

His pow­er pro­tects

His grace re­wards the just.
