I Will Not Fear
Verse 1
Thy will be done! I will not fear The fate provided by thy love; Though clouds and darkness shroud me here, I know that all is bright above.
Verse 2
The stars of heav' n are shining on, Though these frail eyes are dimmed with tears; The hopes of earth indeed are gone, But are not ours th' eternal years?
Verse 3
Father, forgive the heart that clings, Thus trembling, to the things of time; And bid me, as on eagle wings, Ascend into a purer clime.
Verse 4
O let not doubts disturb its trust, Nor sorrows dim its heav' nly love; Nor these afflictions of the dust My inmost calm and peace remove. Hymn 308 - ' Tis Finished

Son of God, thy pow' r Hath triumphed in the awful hour; Thy life for ours the ransom paid, And free from death shall we be made. 4 ' Tis finished! let the joyful sound Be heard through all the nations round; ' Tis finished! let the triumph rise And swell the

of the skies!
