Great God, to thee I’ll make
My various sorrows known,
And with a humble hope
Approach thine awful throne:
Though by my sins
Deserving hell,
I’ll not despair,
‘For who can tell!’
Thou canst, though by a word,
My drooping spirit cheer,
And by thy Spirit form,
Thy glorious image there:
My foes subdue,
My fears dispel;
To thee I’ll seek,
‘For who call tell?’
In times of deep distress,
To thee alone I’ll fly,
Implore thy powerful aid,
And at thy footstool lie:
My case lament,
My wants reveal,
And patient wait;
‘For who can tell?’
My heart misgives me oft,
And conscience frowns within;
One gracious look of thine,
Will make it all serene:
My fears suggest,
That I shall dwell
In endless flames;
‘But who can tell?’
Vile unbelief, be gone!
Ye doubts, fly swift away;
God has an ear to hear,
Whilst I’ve a heart to pray:
If he be mine,
All will be well,
For ever so;
‘And who can tell?’
