Pensive, doubting, fearful heart
Hear what Christ the Savior says
Every word should joy impart
Turn your mourning into praise
Do not fear, nor be dismayed
All your sorrows soon shall end
Christ, who heav'n and earth has framed
Is your brother and your friend
He, the High and Holy One
Israel's God by all adored
As your Savior will be known
Your Redeemer and your Lord
Your Redeemer and your Lord
When it seemed that He withdrew
Then my heart was filled with pain
But His mercies shall renew
I shall soon rejoice again
Though He seems to hide His face
Very soon this strife shall cease
'Tis but for a moment's space,
Ending in eternal peace
Ending in eternal peace
Though afflicted, tempest-tossed
Comfortless a while we are
Do not think we can be lost
We are graven on His heart
Yes, He speaks and speaks to you
May He help you to believe
Then by grace you soon shall see
Christ can bind up every grief
Christ can bind up every grief
All our woes, He will repair
We shall be restored anew
And in us it shall appear
What the God of love can do
Oh, what the God of love can do
