DROOPING soul, shake off thy fears,
By A Collection of Hymns

      8-7s.
      1 DROOPING soul, shake off thy fears,
      Fearful soul be strong, be bold;
      Tarry till the Lord appears.
      Never, never quit thy hold!
      Murmur not at his delay,
      Dare not set thy God a time,
      Calmly for his coming stay,
      Leave it, leave it all to him.

      2 Fainting soul, be bold, be strong
      Wait the leisure of thy Lord;
      Though it seem to tarry long,
      True and faithful is his word;
      On his word my soul I cast
      (He cannot himself deny)
      Surely it shall speak at last;
      It shall speak, and shall not lie.

      3 Every one that seeks shall find,
      Every one that asks shall have,
      Christ, the Saviour of mankind,
      Willing, able, all to save;
      I shall his salvation see,
      I in faith on Jesus call,
      I from sin shall he set free,
      Perfectly set free from all.

      4 Lord, my time is in thine hand,
      Weak and helpless as I am,
      Surely thou canst make me stand;
      l believe in Jesu's name:
      Saviour in temptation thou;
      Thou hast saved me heretofore,
      Thou from sin dost save me now,
      Thou shalt save me evermore.
