A hymn written by Isaac Watts. (in common meter)
"Support Under Trials On Earth"
1. When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies;
I bid farewell to every fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes.
2. Should earth against my soul engage,
And hellish darts be hurl'd,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world.
3. Let cares like a wild deluge come,
Let storms of sorrow fall;
May I but safely reach my home,
My God, my Heaven, my all.
4. There shall I bathe my weary soul
In seas of heavenly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast.
