’Tis past—the dreadful stormy night
Is gone, with all its fears!
And now I see returning light,
The Lord, my Sun, appears.
The tempter, who but lately said,
I soon shall be his prey;
Has heard my Savior’s voice and fled
With shame and grief away.
Ah, LORD, since thou didst hide thy face,
What has my soul endured?
But now ’tis past, I feel thy grace,
And all my wounds are cured!
O wondrous change! but just before
Despair beset me round;
I heard the lion’s horrid roar,
And trembled at the sound.
Before corruption, guilt and fear,
My comfort blasted fell;
And unbelief discovered near
The dreadful depths of hell.
But JESUS pitied my distress,
He heard my feeble cry;
Revealed his blood and righteousness,
And brought salvation nigh.
Beneath the banner of his love,
I now secure remain;
The tempter frets, but dares not move
To break my peace again.
LORD, since thou thus hast broke my bands,
And set the captive free;
I would devote my tongue, my hands,
My heart, my all to thee.
*** alt vers
Before corruption, guilt and fear.
My former comforts fell;
And I discovered, standing near,
The dreadful depths of hell.
Dear Lord, since thou hast broke my bands,
And set the captive free,
I would devote my tongue, my hands,
My heart, my all lo thee.
