2 But God has breathed upon a worm,
And sent me from above
Wings, such as clothe an angel s form,
The wings of joy and love.
3 With these to Pisgah s top I fly,
And there delighted stand,
To view, beneath a shining sky,
The spacious promised land.

Has promised it to me ;
The length and breadth of all the plain,
As far as faith can see.
5 How glorious is my privilege !
To thee for help I call;
I stand upon a mountain s edge,
Oh, save me, lest I fall!
6 Though much exalted in the Lord,
My strength is not my own ;
Then let me tremble at his word,
And none shall cast me down.

1 YES! since God himself has said it,
On the promise I rely ;
His good word demands my credit,
What can unbelief reply ;
He is strong, and can fulfill ;
He is truth, and therefore will.
2 As to all the doubts and questions
Which my spirit often grieve,
These are Satan s sly suggestions,
And I need no answer give.
He would fain destroy my hope,
But the promise bears it up.
3 Sure the Lord thus far has brought me
By his watchful tender care ;
