ASSURANCE IN CHRIST

Tell me not of the pleasures of sin,
For I now from its bondage am free,
And the joys of the One crucified
Have eclipsed all its follies to me.
Shall I shrink from
the thorns in the way,
When He lendeth me
favor and breath,
When the thorns He hath borne
on His brow,
When He tasted
the sorrows of death?

Though I walk ’mid
the sorrows of life,
And the billows of sin sweep the sky,
I will trust in my Savior and Friend,
To His wide open arms I will fly.
Oh, I fear not the breakers of sin,
For my anchor is fastened above,
And the One who has gone on before
Has enraptured my soul
with His love.

Though my path be
in sadness and grief,
And the shadows
grow dark on the lea,
And the last earthly
friend prove untrue,
I will trust in the blood shed for me.
When around me
the sea billows foam,
Let me hide till the storm passes by,
From the tempter’s
allurement and charm,
In the Rock that is higher than I
