While I to grief my soul gave way,
To me the work of God decline,
Methought I heard the Saviour say—
"Dismiss thy fears, the ark is mine.
"Tho' for a time I hid my face,
Rely upon my love and pow'r:
Still wrestle at the throne of grace,
And wait for a reviving hour.
3"Take down thy long neglected harp,
I've seen thy tears and heard thy pray'r,
The winter season has been sharp,
But'spring shall all its wastes repair."
Lord, I obey,—my hopes revive;
Come, join with me, ye saints, and sing;
Our foes in vain against us strive,
For God will help and triumph bring.
