Hymn 55<br>
[[:category:10 9 11 9|10 9 11 9]]<br>
1. Away with our fears! The glad morning appears,<br>
When an heir of salvation was born!<br>
From Jehovah I came, For his glory I am,<br>
And to him I with singing return.

2. Thee, Jesus, alone, The fountain I own<br>
Of my life and felicity here;<br>
And cheerfully sing my Redeemer and King.<br>
Till his sign in the heavens appear.

3. With thanks I rejoice in thy fatherly choice<br>
Of my state and condition below;<br>
If of parents I came Who honoured thy name,<br>
'Twas thy wisdom appointed it so.

4. I sing of thy grace, from my earliest days<br>
Ever near to allure and defend:<br>
Hitherto thou hast been My preserver from sin,<br>
And I trust thou wilt save to the end.

5. O the infinite cares, And temptations, and snares,<br>
Thy hand hath conducted me through!<br>
O the blessings bestowed By a bountiful God,<br>
And the mercies eternally new!

6. What a mercy is this, What a heaven of bliss,<br>
How unspeakably happy am I!<br>
Gathered into the fold, With thy people enrolled,<br>
With thy people to live and to die!

7. O the goodness of God, Employing a clod<br>
His tribute of glory to raise!<br>
His standard to bear, And with triumph declare<br>
His unspeakable riches of grace!

8. O the fathomless love, That has deigned to approve,<br>
And prosper the work of my hands!<br>
With my pastoral crook I went over the brook,<br>
And, behold, I am spread into bands!

9. Who, I ask in amaze, Hath begotten me these?<br>
And inquire from what quarter they came?<br>
My full heart it replies, They are born from the skies,<br>
And gives glory to God and the Lamb.

10. All honour and praise To the Father of grace,<br>
To the Spirit, and Son, I return!<br>
The business pursue, he hath made me to do,<br>
And rejoice that I ever was born.
