Begone, unbelief
- 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. - Though dark be my way,
Since He is my Guide,
'Tis mine to obey,
'Tis His to provide;
Though cisterns be broken,
And creatures all fail,
The word He hath spoken
Shall surely prevail. - 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 help me quite through. - Why should I complain
Of want or distress,
Temptation or pain?
He told me no less;
The heirs of salvation,
I know from His Word,
Through much tribulation
Must follow their Lord. - How bitter that cup
No heart can conceive,
Which He drank quite up,
That sinners might live!
His way was much rougher
And darker than mine;
Did Christ, my Lord, suffer,
And shall I repine? - Since all that I meet
Shall work for my good,
The bitter is sweet,
The medicine, food;
Though painful at present,
'Twill cease before long,
And then, oh, how pleasant
The conqueror's song!

May 16, 2009alan laborfreetown, Sierra LeoneHymn singing is a favourite hobby amongst the Christian inhabitants of the city of Fretown in Sierra Leone (one of the oldest cities of western civilization and Christianity) with their long history of slavery and freedom. Begone unbelief is quite popular, it speaks of assurance each stanza of it! What a lovely hymn, one of my grandmother's favourite! With tears of joy I sing it always and it indeed strengthens my faith especially when things go wrong. Let us sing on!
Mar. 31, 2009Brenda DeleveauxNassau NP, BahamasWhen I awoke on 03/30/09, the Holy Spirit brought this song to me very forcefully all I knew was the first line and it was very encouraging and uplifting at the time.
June 16, 2008James OsborneUnited StatesThe tune of this song seemed so familiar. Then I realized that it was the same tune to "O Worship The King." It does make a very regal statement when sung and played.
Mar. 8, 2007Adenike OdunugaAbuja, NigeriaThis song comes with a forceful command to unbelief, a crippling foe that often clings to us to go away. I like the force with which it comes when I am sometimes in doubt. It comes with affirmation and assurance that gives doubt itself no doubt that you know what you are saying. It is either you do not sing it or you sing it and be filled with faith.
