456, HOLY FORTITUDE. HYMN FOR SERMON XXXII. Holy Fortitude, or Remedies against Fear. WHEN tumults of unruly fear Rise in my heart, and riot there, What shall I do to calm mybreast, And get the vexingfoe supprest ? What power can these, wild thoughts control. This ruffling tempest of the soul ? Where shall I fly in this distress, }hit to the throne of glorious grace ? My faith would seize some promise, Lord ; There's power and safety in thy word t /lot all that earth or hell can say, Shall tempt or drive my soul away, I call the days of old to mind, When I have found my God Was kind; My heavenly Friend is still the same; .Salvation to his holy name. Great God, preserve my conscience clean ; Wash me from guilt, forgive my sin t Thy loveshall guard mefromsurprize, Though threat'uinp dangers round me rise. When fear like a wild ocean raves, Let Jesus walk uponthe waves, And say, " 'tis I ;" that heavenly voice shall sink the storm, and raisemy joys.
