[Brief Intro] [Verse 1] My God, how many are my fears! How fast my foes increase! Conspiring my eternal death, They break my present peace. [Verse 2] The lying tempter would persuade There's no relief in heav'n; And all my swelling sins appear Too big to be forgiv'n. [Verse 3] But thou, my glory and my strength, Shalt on the tempter tread, Shalt silence all my threatening guilt, And raise my drooping head. [Rest] [Prechorus] I cried, and from his holy hill He bowed a listening ear; I called my Father, and my God, And he subdued my fear. [Chorus] He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, In spite of all my foes; I woke, and wondered at the grace That guarded my repose. [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 6] What though the hosts of death and hell All armed against me stood, Terrors no more shall shake my soul; My refuge is my God. [Verse 7] Arise, O Lord, fulfill thy grace, While I thy glory sing; My God has broke the serpent's teeth, And death has lost his sting. [rest] [Prechorus] I cried, and from his holy hill He bowed a listening ear; I called my Father, and my God, And he subdued my fear. [Chorus] He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, In spite of all my foes; I woke, and wondered at the grace That guarded my repose. [Bridge] Arise, O Lord, fulfill thy grace, While I thy glory sing; My God has broke the serpent's teeth, And death has lost his sting. [Prechorus] I cried, and from his holy hill He bowed a listening ear; I called my Father, and my God, And he subdued my fear. [Outro] [Chorus] He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, In spite of all my foes; I woke, and wondered at the grace That guarded my repose.
