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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

What a deep sense of reassurance to follow the Lord more closely and to keep eyes focus on Him.
Jesus is Lord indeed.
Aigbagbo bila temi l'Oluwa

Surely there is an end, our expectation shall not cut off. Keep on trusting, Christ will not fail. What He has promised to do, He will surely do. Thanks for uploading this song. God bless you.

The hymn that soothes my soul. It was the late President Mills' best hymn.

I have sung this song for so many years being a methodist. Now I attend a charismatic church because that's where my husband fellowship. But this song came to me so strongly as I showered this morning. The message it brought, I haven't had that throughout my 30 years of being a methodist. It's such a blessing. Thank You Jesus.

Why should I complain of want or distress, temptation or pain. Oh how I love You Jesus.

This cup that I drink
Is heavy and tart
I wonder and think
Why I must be part
But then I remember
He gave me His all
So I like my Jesus
Will answer God's call
