Hymn 637

It is not meet for Saints to fear

Meter: C.M.

Scripture: Gen. 22:14

1

It is not meet for Saints to fear

Nor for them to despair,

For when they least expect His help;

The Saviour will appear.

2

When Abraham took up his knife

God’s voice said to him, “stop”

The yonder ram caugth by the horn

Shall substitute thy son.

3

When Jonah sank beneath the waves

No hope of escape near

God sent a fish that swallowed him

And brought him to the shore.

4

With such great might and love as this

Abounding in His word;

I pray to bring my anxious cares

And leave them all to Him.

5

Lift up your eyes and wait His help

It may be long but wait;

Though the promise may tarry long,

It soon shall borne to pass.
