Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Away with our fears! the glad morning appears, When the heir of salvation was born. From Jehovah I came, for his glory I am, And to Him I with singing return.
2. With thanks I rejoice in Thy Fatherly choice, Of my state and condition below; If of parents I came who honored Thy name, ’Twas Thy wisdom appointed it so.
3. I sing of Thy grace from my earliest days, Ever near to allure and defend. Hitherto Thou hast been my preserver from sin, And I trust Thou wilt save to the end.
4. Oh, the infinite cares and temptations and snares, Thy hand hath conducted me through; Oh, the blessings bestowed by a bountiful God, And the mercies eternally new.
5. What a mercy is this, what a haven of bliss, How unspeakably happy am I! Gathered into the fold, with Thy people enrolled, With Thy people to live and to die.
6. All honor and praise to the Father of grace, To the Spirit and Son I return; The work I’ll pursue, He hath sent me to do, And rejoice that I ever was born.
