233.  Peace! Troubled Soul

1
Peace, troubled soul! thou need’st not fear;
Thy great Provider still is near;
Who led thee last will lead thee still;
Be calm, and sink into his will.

2
The Lord, who built the earth and sky,
In love now hearkens to thy cry:
His promise thou may’st freely claim:
Ask and receive in Jesus’ name.

3
Open to God thine inmost heart;
He will his comfort then impart;
He will his grace most freely give,
And peace and joy thou shalt receive.

4
Rest in his love though storms prevail,
No storm can there o’erwhelm thy soul.
Ne’er let thy faith and courage fail,
Ill shall work good by his control.
