Conflict. Matt. 14. 31
1
Will my doubting ne’er be o’er?
 
Will the Lord return no more?
 
When shall I the Saviour see,
 
And be sure he died for me?
2
How I waver to and fro,
 
Rising high and sinking low!
 
Now to heaven I aspire,
 
Now to shades of death retire.
3
When a glimpse of hope appears,
 
Soon ’tis lost in doubts and fears.
 
O! I fear ’tis all a cheat!
 
Keep me, Lord, from self-deceit.
4
Lord, thy light, thy love display;
 
All my darkness chase away;
 
Everlasting peace restore;
 
Bid me disbelieve no more.
5
Put thy Spirit in my heart;
 
Bid my doubts and fears depart;
 
When thy face shall on me shine,
 
I shall know and feel thee mine.
