Arise, My Soul,
Be Gone All Fears ― Don Fortner
(Tune: O
For A Thousand Tongues #46 ― CM)
1.
Arise,
my soul, be gone all fears,
I am a child of God!
Lean hard upon His mighty arm.
He is the faithful Lord.
2.
Though
troubles overwhelm my soul
And break my heart with pain,
My God is my Defender still ―
He will my cause
maintain!
3.
The
way is rough, the tempter strong,
And I am weak and frail;
But Jesus is my Refuge, and
His strength will never fail.
4.
Though
earthly joys all flee away
And sorrows multiply,
Yet, Christ the Lord my Portion is ―
He will my needs
supply!
5.
The
Spirit is my Comforter,
The Seal of covenant grace.
He seals to me the love of God
And floods my soul with grace.
6.
With
such a God, and Savior, and
With such a Comforter,
“Arise, my soul,” I say, “Arise,
Arise, be of good cheer!”
