Begone unbelief, my Saviour is near, And for my relief will surely appear; By prayer let me wrestle, and He will perform; With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. His love in time past forbids me to think He’ll leave me at last in trouble to sink; Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review, Confirms His good pleasure to help me quite through. Why should I complain of want or distress, Temptation or pain? he told me no less! The heirs of salvation, I know from His word, Through much tribulation must follow their Lord.
