Away, My Needless Fears

Away my needless fears, And doubts no longer mine; A ray of heavenly light appears, A messenger divine. Thrice comfortable hope, That calms my troubled breast; My Father's hand prepares the cup, And what he wills is best. If what I wish is good, And suits the will divine; By earth and hell in vain withstood, I know it shall be mine. Still let them counsel take To frustrate his decree, They cannot keep a blessing back By heaven designed for me. Here then I doubt no more, But in his pleasure rest, Whose wisdom, love, and truth, and power, Engage to make me blest. To accomplish his design The creatures all agree; And all the attributes divine Are now at work for me.
