266 C.M. Isaac Watts
Doubts Scattered; or, Spiritual Joys Restored. Ps. 40. 3
1
Hence from my soul, sad thoughts, begone,
 
And leave me to my joys;
 
My tongue shall triumph in my God,
 
And make a joyful noise.
2
Darkness and doubts had veiled my mind,
 
And drowned my head in tears,
 
Till sovereign grace, with shining rays,
 
Dispelled my gloomy fears.
3
O what immortal joys I felt,
 
And raptures all divine,
 
When Jesus told me I was his,
 
And my Beloved mine!
4
In vain the tempter frights my soul,
 
And breaks my peace in vain;
 
One glimpse, dear Saviour, of thy face,
 
Revives my joys again.
