Pensive, Doubting, Fearful Heart

[Verse 1]
Pensive, doubting, fearful heart
Hear what Christ the Savior says
Every word should joy impart
Change thy mourning into praise
Yes, he speaks, and speaks to thee
May he help thee to believe
Then thou presently wilt see
Thou hast little cause to grieve

[Verse 2]
Fear thou not, nor be ashamed
All thy sorrows soon shall end
I who heaven and earth have framed
Am thy husband and thy friend
I the High and Holy One
Israel's God by all adored
As thy Savior will be known
Thy Redeemer and thy Lord

[Verse 3]
For a moment I withdrew
And thy heart was filled with pain
But my mercies I'll renew
Thou shalt soon rejoice again
Though I scorn to hid my face
Very soon my wrath shall cease
'Tis but for a moment's space
Ending in eternal peace

[Verse 4]
When my peaceful bow appears
Painted on the watery clouds
'Tis to dissipate thy fears
Lest the earth should be overflowed
'Tis an emblem too of grace
Of my covenant love a sign
Though the mountains leave their place
Thou shalt be forever mine

[Verse 5]
Though afflicted, tempest-tossed
Comfortless awhile thou art
Do not think thou canst be lost
Thou art graven on my heart
All thy walls I will repair
Thou shalt be rebuilt anew
And in thee it shall appear
What a God of love can do
What a God of love can do
