ARISE, MY SOUL, BE GONE ALL FEARS
Don Fortner
(Tune:
O For A Thousand Tongues #46 CM)
Arise,
my soul, be gone all fears,
I am a
child of God!
Lean hard upon His mighty arm
He is
the faithful Lord.
Though
troubles overwhelm my soul
And break
my heart with pain,
My God is my Defender still -
He will
my cause maintain!
The way
is rough, the tempter strong,
And I
am weak and frail;
But Jesus is my Refuge, and
His
strength will never fail.
Though
earthly joys all flee away
And
sorrows multiply,
Yet,
Christ the Lord my Portion is -
He will
my needs supply!
The
Spirit is my Comforter,
The
Seal of covenant grace.
He seals to me the love of God
And
floods my soul with grace.
With
such a God, and Savior, and
With
such a Comforter,
"Arise,
my soul," I say," Arise,
Arise, be of good cheer!"
