CHRISTIAN kxercisks.
I’ll sit and sing and praise him,
For a crown lie gives to me,
And sing the song of free grace
To all eternity.

Christ’s presence banishes fear.
1 IN darkest hours and greatest grief,
1 A view of Christ gives joy and light
Among ten thousand lie’s the chief,
He turns to day the darkest night.
2 When past offences me assail,
And Sinai’s loudest thunders roar,
Then Jesus shows himself my bail,
And Justice says, T ask no more.’
3 When sins again to mountains rise,
And fears like raging billows swell,
Then Christ appears my sacrifice,
And sweetly whispers, ‘all is well.’
4 Then let me trust, nor yield, to fear,
Though I in thickest darkness dwell,
Since he, my Lord, is ever near,
The powers of hell and sin to quell.

Flesh and spirit in struggle,
1 T T OW sad and awful is my state !
IT The very thing I do I hate :
When I to God draw near in prayer,
I feel the conflict even there.
2 I mourn because I cannot mourn ;
I hate my sin, yet cannot turn ;
I grieve because I cannot grieve;
I hear the truth, but can’t believe.
