Confidence.
373 Yes! since God himself has said it, On the promise I rely; His good word demands my credit, What can unbelief reply? He is strong and can fulfill, He is truth and therefore will. | As to all the doubts and questions, Which my spirit often grieve, These are Satan’s sly suggestions, And I need no answer give; He would fain destroy my hope, But the promise bears it up. | Sure the LORD thus far has brought me By his watchful tender care; Sure ’tis he himself has taught me How to seek his face by prayer: After so much mercy past, Will he give me up at last? | True, I’ve been a foolish creature; And have sinned against his grace; But forgiveness is his nature, Though he justly hides his face: Ere he called me well he knew, Isa 48:8 What a heart like mine would do. | In my Savior’s intercession Therefore I will still confide; LORD accept my free contrition, I have sinned, but thou hast died: Rom 8:34 This is all I have to plead, This is all the plea I need. | |
