Hymn 454 – IT is not meet for Saints to fear | C&S English Hymnary

1. IT is not meet for Saints to fear Nor for them to despair For when they least expect His help The Saviour will appear. Chorus: Tie your girdle, be battle ready Tie your girdle, be battle ready Tie your girdle oh Tie your girdle oh Tie your girdle, be battle ready. 2. When Abraham took up his knile God's voice said to him ‘stop‘ The yonder ram caught by the horn Shall Substitute thy son. Chorus: Tie your girdle... 3. When Jonah sank beneath the ways No hope of escape near God sent a fish that swallowed him And brought him to the shore. Chorus: Tie your girdle... 4. With such great might and love as this Abounding in His word I pray to bring my anxious cares And leave them all to Him. Chorus: Tie your girdle... 5. Lift up your eyes and wait His help It may belong but wait Though the promise may tarry long It soon shall come to pass. Chorus: Tie your girdle, be battle ready Tie your girdle, be battle ready Tie your girdle oh Tie your girdle oh Tie your girdle, be battle ready AMEN
