[In the floods of tribulation]
[1]
In the floods of tribulation,While the billows o'er me roll,
Jesus whispers consolation,
And supports my fainting soul,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, praise the Lord,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, praise the Lord.
2
Thus the lion yields me honeyFrom the eater food is given,
Strengthen'd thus, I still press forward,
Singing as I wade to heaven:
Sweet affliction, sweet affliction,
And my sins are all forgiven. Sweet, &c.
3
Mid the gloom the vivid lightning,With increasing brightness play
Mid the thorn bright beauteous flowrets
Look more beautiful and gay.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, praise the Lord. Hallelujah, &c.
4
So in darkest dispensationsDoth my faithful Lord appear,
With his richest consolations
To reanimate and cheer.
Sweet affliction, sweet affliction,
Thus to bring my Saviour near. Sweet, &c.
5
Floods of tribulations brighten,Billows still around me roar;
Those that know not Christ ye frighten,
But my soul defies your power.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, praise the Lord. Hallelujah, &c.
6
In the sacred page recorded;Thus the word securely stands,
Fear not, I'm in trouble near thee,
Nought shall pluck thee from my hands.
Sweet affliction, sweet affliction,
Every word my love demands. Sweet, &c.
7
All I meet I find assist me,In my path to heavenly joy;
Where the trials now attend me,
Trials never more annoy.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, praise the Lord. Hallelujah, &c.
8
Wearing there a weight of glory,Still the path I'll near forget
But exulting cry it led me
To my blessed Saviour's feet.
Sweet affliction, sweet affliction,
Which has brought to Jesus' feet. Sweet, &c.
