Arise, from distress and worry-free
From His holy temple, God hears your plea
Work joyfully and on Him depend
Refuse all feelings conflicting this end
Are not His eyes over all the earth
Beholding all things in their worth?
Will He not from His temple descend
Your battles to fight, the seas to rend?
Then let faith dispel your worry and fear
Bid doubts expressions to disappear
In the spirit of faith, His promises talk
Let His truth brighten the path you walk
Speak that He’ll wisely work all things
That good from them His wisdom brings
And while from sight His presence is hidden
Faith says, ‘I am with you always’, it’s written
Resign all, to that power on high
Though to you hopelessness seems the way
Faithful is He who promises you
“I will never leave nor forsake you”
