Hymn 153: It is not meet for Saints to fear

Ko to k’ awon mimo beru

  1. It is not meet for Saints to fear
    Nor for them to despair,
    For when they least expect His help;
    The Saviour will appear.

  2. When Abraham took up his knife
    God's voice said to him, `stop`
    The yonder ram caught by the horn
    Shall substitute thy son.

  3. When Jonah sank beneath the waves
    No hope of escape near
    God sent a fish that swallowed him
    And brought him to the shore.

  4. With such great might and love as this
    Abounding in His word;
    I pray to bring my anxious cares
    And leave them all to Him.

  5. Lift up your eyes and wait His help
    It may be long but wait;
    Though the promise may tarry long,
    It soon shall come to pass.
