Peace, doubting heart - my God's I am!

Verse 1
Peace, doubting heart—my God’s I am!
Who form’d me man forbids my fear:
The Lord hath call’d me by my name, (Isa. 43:1, Isa. 44:2, John 10:3)
The Lord protects for ever near: (Ps. 121:7-8)
His blood for me did once attone, (Rom. 5:9-11, Heb. 9:12, I Pet. 1:18-19)
And still he loves, and guards his own.

Verse 2
When passing thro’ the watry deep
I ask in faith his promis’d aid, (Isa. 43:2, James 1:6)
The waves an awful distance keep,
And shrink from my devoted head: (Isa. 43:2, Ex. 14:21-22, Heb. 11:29)
Fearless their violence I dare:
They cannot harm, for God is there! (Isa. 43:2, Isa. 43:5)

Verse 3
To him my eye of faith I turn,
And thro’ the fire pursue my way; (Isa. 43:2)
The fire forgets its pow’r to burn,
The lambent flames around me play: (Isa. 43:2, Dan. 3:25-27, Heb. 11:34)
I own his pow’r, accept the sign,
And shout to prove the Saviour mine.

Verse 4
Still nigh me, O my Saviour, stand,
And guard in fierce temptation’s hour; (I Cor. 10:13, Heb. 2:18, Rev. 3:10)
Hide in the hollow of thy hand, (Ex. 33:22, Isa. 40:12, Isa. 49:2, Isa. 51:16)
Shew forth in me thy saving pow’r.
Still be thy arm my sure defence, (Deut. 33:27, Isa. 33:2)
Nor earth nor hell shall pluck me thence. (John 10:28-29)

Verse 5
Since thou hast bid me come to thee, (Matt. 11:28)
(Good as thou art and strong to save) (Isa. 63:1)
I’ll walk o’er life’s tempestuous sea, (Matt. 14:28-29)
Upborn by the unyielding wave;
Dauntless, tho’ rocks of pride be near,
And yawning whirlpools of despair.

Verse 6
When darkness intercepts the skies,
And sorrow’s waves around me roll,
When high the storms of passion rise,
And half o’erwhelm my sinking soul; (Ps. 42:7, Ps. 69:1-2, Jonah 2:3, Matt. 14:30)
My soul a sudden calm[1] shall feel
And hear a whisper “Peace, be still.” (Ps. 107:28-30, Matt. 8:23-27, Mark 4:39, Luke 8:22-25)

Verse 7
Tho’ in affliction’s furnace tried, (Isa. 48:10, I Pet. 1:6-7)
Unhurt on snares and deaths I’ll tread; (Ps. 91:3, Ps. 91:13, Luke 10:19)
Tho’ sin assail, and hell thrown wide
Pour all its flames upon my head, (Isa. 43:2, Eph. 6:16)
Like Moses’ bush, I’ll mount the higher,
And flourish unconsum’d in fire. (Ex. 3:2-3)
