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

And brought him to the shore.

And leave them all to Him.
Verse 5

It may be long but wait;
Though the promise may tarry long,
It soon shall come to pass.
