Whence, my soul, this gloom depressing,
Whence proceed this slavish fear;
Does the Lord withhold his blessing,
And a frowning aspect wear?
Are thy sins and guilt revived,
Does the prowling lion roar;
Art thou in thyself deceived
Sinking low to rise no more?
Hast thou not a loving Saviour,
Who from pain can set thee free;
Did he not display his favour,
When he lived and died for thee?
Yes he did, and still he loves thee,
let not hence a doubt remain;
He conceals his face to prove thee,
And erelong will smile again.
