Can I suspect my dearest Lord,
Or cherish unbelief?
Will he not still his grace afford,
And send me quick relief?
Oppressed with grief, a heavy load,
How oft has he appeared,
And with some promise in his word,
My fainting spirit cheered.
Has he not formed my soul for heaven,
Fixed my affections there?
Why should I then to grief be given,
And why indulge despair?
Does he repent his mercies past,
Recall his gifts of love?
His power the same, his truth shall last,
Though rocks and hills remove.
No more let doubts and fears annoy,
My faith, while travelling home;
Still many favours I enjoy,
The pledge of those to come.
