1. Away, my doubts, be gone, my fear, | |||
The wonders of the Lord appear, | |||
The wonders that my Savior wrought; | |||
O how delightful is the thought! | |||
2. The wonders of redeeming love, | |||
When first my heart was drawn above; | |||
When first I saw my Savior's face, | |||
And triumphed in his pardoning grace. | |||
3. Pursue, my thoughts, this pleasing theme, | |||
Twas not a fancy nor a dream; | |||
Twas grace descending from the skies, | |||
And shall be marvelous in my eyes.}} | |||

4. Long had I mourned, like one forgot, | |||
Long had my soul for comfort fought, | |||
Jesus was witness to my tears, | |||
And Jesus sweetly calmed my fears. | |||
5. He cleansed my soul, he changed my dress, | |||
And clothed me with his righteousness: | |||
He spoke at once my sins forgiven, | |||
And I rejoiced as if in heaven. | |||
6. How was I struck with sweet surprise, | |||
While glory shone before my eyes! | |||
How did I sing from day to day, | |||
And wished to sing my soul away!}} | |||

7. The world with all its pomp withdrew, | |||
Twas less than nothing in my view; | |||
Redeeming love was all my theme, | |||
And life appeared an idle dream. | |||
8. I gloried in my Savior's grace; | |||
I sang my great Redeemer's praise; | |||
My foul now longed to soar away, | |||
And leave her tenement of clay. | |||
9. The powers of hell in vain combined | |||
To tempt or interrupt my mind; | |||
I saw, and sung in joyful strains | |||
The monster Satan held in chains.}} | |||

The marvelous goodness of the Lord; | |||
O for a tongue to speak His praise, | |||
To tell the triumphs of His grace!}} | |||
