English poem
Peace in CHRIST amidst Tribulations. John xvi. 33
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
Henceforth let each believing Heart From anxious Sorrows cease: Tho' Storms of Trouble rage around, In Jesus we have Peace.
His Blood from Wrath to come redeems, And his almighty Grace, By bitt'rest Draughts of deep Distress, Its healing Pow'r displays.
Jesus, our Captain, march'd before To lead us to the Fight; And now he reacheth out the Crown With heav'nly Glories bright.
Lord, 'tis enough; thy Voice we hear; That Crown by Faith we see: No Sorrows shall o'erwhelm our Souls, Since none divide from Thee.
