Begone! Unbelief, My Savior Is Near

This is one of the few hymns to mention the word Ebenezer, along with Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing.

Hymn 103
10 10 11 11
1. Begone! unbelief, my Savior is near,
And for my relief will surely appear;
By prayer let me wrestle, and he will perform,
With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm.

2. Tho' dark be my way, since he is my guide,
'Tis mine to obey, 'tis his to provide;
Tho' cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail,
The word he has spoken shall surely prevail.

3. His love in time past forbids me to think
He'll leave me at last in trouble to sink;
Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review,
Confirms his good pleasure to bring me quite through.

4. Since all that I meet shall work for my good,
The bitter and sweet, the med'cine is food:
Tho' painful at present, 'twill cease before long,
And then, O how pleasant the conqueror's song.
