HYMN 65. (C. M.) The Hope of Heaven our Support under Trial on Earth.
I
When I can read my title clearTo mansions in the skies,
I bid farewell to every fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes.
II
Should earth against my soul engage,And hellish darts be hurl'd,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world.
III
Let cares like a wild deluge come,And storms of sorrow fall,
May I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heaven, my all.
IV
There shall I bathe my weary soulIn seas of heavenly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast.
