Begone, unbelief

E716
1
Begone, unbelief,
  My Savior is near,
And for my relief
  Will surely appear;
By prayer let me wrestle,
  And He will perform;
With Christ in the vessel,
  I smile at the storm.
2
Though dark be my way,
  Since He is my Guide,
’Tis mine to obey,
  ’Tis His to provide;
Though cisterns be broken,
  And creatures all fail,
The word He hath spoken
  Shall surely prevail.
3
His love, in time past,
  Forbids me to think
He’ll leave me at last
  In trouble to sink:
Each sweet Ebenezer
  I have in review
Confirms His good pleasure
  To help me quite through.
4
Why should I complain
  Of want or distress,
Temptation or pain?
  He told me no less;
The heirs of salvation,
  I know from His Word,
Through much tribulation
  Must follow their Lord.
5
How bitter that cup
  No heart can conceive,
Which He drank quite up,
  That sinners might live!
His way was much rougher
  And darker than mine;
Did Christ, my Lord, suffer,
  And shall I repine?
6
Since all that I meet
  Shall work for my good,
The bitter is sweet,
  The medicine, food;
Though painful at present,
  ’Twill cease before long,
And then, oh, how pleasant
  The conqueror’s song!

It's a hymn that gives us so much confidence and hope that irrespective of the challenges we face in life God still has better things for us.

Heard this song for the first time in the 1970s and it was and still is a blessing whenever I hear it! We do not sing it often enough! Thanks!

This song is so deep in my local dialect. Richer, and comforting to know that Our Lord Jesus Christ told us that we should be of good cheer; He has overcome the world. John 16:33.

The word He has spoken shall surely prevail. God is indeed a faithful God who watches over His Word to perform (Jer 1:12).

Hallelujah. Amen.

I will go through the storm because I know that with Christ in the vessel I will smile at the storm.

No matter how heavy the storms of life hits me, what I know and believe is with Christ in the vessel I smile at the storms for He lives in me and everything shall work for my good.
