With men impossible

Verse 1

With men impossible! What hope remains for me? A sinner on the verge of hell, How? whither? shall I flee?

Verse 2

"Flee from the wrath to come," I hear Jehovah say; What can I do--let doubt be dumb,-- What can I--but obey?

Verse 3

His sceptre or His rod, Who shall control them?--None: All things are possible with God, He speaks, and it is done.

Verse 4

'Tis but to know His will, And in His power confide, Then faith may bid the sun stand still, Or walk upon the tide.

Verse 5

The Lord can make a worm Almighty if He please, And at His single word perform Impossibilities.

Verse 6

When to the blind man's eyes He saith "Behold!" 'tis so: And when He calls the dead, they rise, Though the grave's mouth cries "No!"

Verse 7

Then, my Redeemer, then, From wrath to love I flee, The things impossible to men, Are possible with Thee.

Verse 8

I, at Thy feet, in dust, My unbelief resign, In Thee alone is all my trust, Lord, save me, I am thine.
