HYMN 73. (C. M.) Doubts scattered; or, spiritual Joy restored.
I
Hence from my soul, sad thoughts, begone,And leave me to my joys,
My tongue shall triumph in my God,
And make a joyful noise.
II
Darkness and doubts had veil'd my mind,And drown'd my head in tears,
Till sovereign grace with shining rays
Dispell'd my gloomy fears.
III
O what immortal joys I felt,And raptures all divine,
When Jesus told me, I was his,
And my Beloved mine.
IV
In vain the tempter frights my soul,And breaks my peace in vain,
One glimpse, dear Saviour, of thy face,
Revives my joys again.
