WITH CONFIDENCE.
For the Lord God
will help me; therefore I shall not be confounded;
Therefore have I set
my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
-Isa. i:7
God is my help, my strength,
my shield,
So I shall not confounded be,
Nor will I to the tempter
yield,
For I shall full salvation see;
I know each promised good is
mine,
For He hath said, “All things
are thine.”
What though the things I seep
appear
Impossible, or far away,
Yet, I will never yield to
fear,
Nor cease to wait, and watch and pray;
My Saviour will my longing
see,
And naught beyond His power
can be.
He yearneth in compassion
still,
O’er those HE came from heaven to heal,
And unto those who see His
will
He doth His wealth of love reveal;
He waits the sinner to
forgive,
He waits to bid the dying
live.
Therefore, like flint, I set
my face,
And I shall not be put to shame,
For He will grant all needed
grace
If I but ask in Jesus’ name;
Faith now begins the song of
praise,
Which ceaseth not through
coming
days.
I know that my Redeemer
lives,
I know His word can never fail,
And now to me His strength He
gives,
And I through faith shall e’er prevail;
Whate’er is good I ask and
gain,
For Jesus bore my sin and
pain.
His name is life and health
and peace,
Jesus my all-in-all shall be,
He only can bring sweet
release
From all my sickness set free;
To Him my childlike trust now
flies,
And awaits to hear Him say,
“Arise.”
