Doubts and Fears suppressed; or, God our Defence from Sin and Satan
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #9 (1786) Topics: Doubts and Fears suppressed; Doubts and Fears suppressed First Line: My God, how many are my fears? Lyrics: 1 My God how many are my fears?
How fast my foes increase?
Conspiring my eternal death,
They break my present peace.
2 Thy lying tempter would persuade
There's no relief in heaven,
And all my growing sins appear
Too great to be forgiven.
3 But thou, my glory, and my strength,
Shalt on the tempter tread,
Shalt silence all my threatening guilt,
And raise my drooping head.
4 [I cry'd, and from his holy hill
He bow'd a listening ear;
I call'd my Father, and my God,
And he subdued my fear.
5 He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes,
In spite of all my foes;
I woke, and wonder'd at the grace
That guarded my repose.]
6 What tho' the hosts of death and hell
All arm'd against me stood;
Terrors no more shall shake my soul;
My refuge is my God.
7 Arise, O Lord, fulfill thy grace,
While I thy glory sing;
My God has broke the serpent's teeth,
And death has lost his sting.
8 Salvation to the Lord belongs,
His arm alone can save;
Blessings attend thy people here,
And reach beyond the grave. Scripture: Psalm 3 Languages: English

Unto thine hand, O God of truth,
My spirit I commit;
Thou hast redeemed my soul from death,
And saved me from the pit.

Maintained a doubtful strife,
While sorrow, pain, and sin conspired
To take away my life.

"Though I draw near the dust;
Thou art the refuge where I hide,
The God in whom I trust.
O make thy reconciled face
Upon thy servant shine,
And save me for thy mercy's sake,
For I'm entirely thine.

"I must despair and die,
I am cut off before thine eyes;
But thou hast heard my cry.]

To those that fear thy majesty,
And trust thy promises!

And sing his praises loud;
He'll bend his ear to your complaints,
And recompense the proud.

When darkness long has veil'd my mind
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #404 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears Lyrics: 1 When darkness long has vail'd my mind,
And smiling day once more appears,
Then, my Redeemer! then I find
The folly of my doubts and fears.
2 I chide my unbelieving heart;
And blush that I should ever be
Thus prone to act so base a part,
Or harbour one hard thought of thee!
3 O let me then at length be taught
(What I am still so slow to learn,)
That God is love, and changes not,
Nor knows the shadow of a turn.
4 Sweet truth, and easy to repeat!
But when my faith is sharply try'd
I find myself a learner yet,--
Unskillful, weak, and apt to slide.
5 But, O my Lord, one look from thee
Subdues the disobedient will;
Drives doubt and discontent away,
And thy rebellious worm is still.
6 Thou art as ready to forgive,
As I am ready to repine;
Thou, therefore, all the praise receive;
Be shame, and self-abhorrence, mine.
When darkness long has veil'd my mind

Psalm 3
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.7 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Doubts and fears suppressed; Fears and doubts suppressed First Line: My God, how many are my fears! Lyrics:
My God, how many are my fears!
How fast my foes increase!
Conspiring my eternal death,
They break my present peace.
The lying tempter would persuade
There's no relief in heav'n;
And all my swelling sins appear
Too big to be forgiv'n.
But thou, my glory and my strength,
Shalt on the tempter tread,
Shalt silence all my threatening guilt,
And raise my drooping head.
[I cried, and from his holy hill
He bowed a listening ear;
I called my Father, and my God,
And he subdued my fear.
He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes,
In spite of all my foes;
I woke, and wondered at the grace
That guarded my repose.]
What though the hosts of death and hell
All armed against me stood,
Terrors no more shall shake my soul;
My refuge is my God.
Arise, O Lord, fulfil thy grace,
While I thy glory sing;
My God has broke the serpent's teeth,
And death has lost his sting.
Salvation to the Lord belongs;
His arm alone can save:
Blessings attend thy people here,
And reach beyond the grave.

O Lord, how many are my foes,
In this weak state of flesh and blood!
My peace they daily discompose,
But my defence and hope is God.
Tired with the burdens of the day,
To thee I raised an evening cry:
Thou heard'st when I began to pray,
And thine almighty help was nigh.
Supported by thine heav'nly aid,
I laid me down, and slept secure:
Not death should make my heart afraid,
Though I should wake and rise no more.
But God sustained me all the night:
Salvation doth to God belong;
He raised my head to see the light,
And make his praise my morning song.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.68 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Doubts and fears suppressed; Fears and doubts suppressed First Line: My heart rejoices in thy name Lyrics:
My heart rejoices in thy name,
My God, my help, my trust;
Thou hast preserved my face from shame,
Mine honor from the dust.
"My life is spent with grief," I cried,
"My years consumed in groans,
My strength decays, mine eyes are dried,
And sorrow wastes my bones."
Among mine enemies my name
Was a mere proverb grown,
While to my neighbors I became
Forgotten and unknown.
Slander and fear on every side
Seized and beset me round
I to the throne of grace applied,
And speedy rescue found.
How great deliverance thou hast wrought
Before the sons of men!
The lying lips to silence brought,
And made their boastings vain!
Thy children from the strife of tongues
Shall thy pavilion hide;
Guard them from infamy and wrongs,
And crush the sons of pride.
Within thy secret presence, Lord,
Let me for ever dwell;
No fenced city, walled and barred,
Secures a saint so well.

Revives my Joys again. Languages: English
