Vanished Doubts

The power of worship to banish and dissipate the doubts and fears that beset our minds and hearts is beautifully described by Longfellow:

And when the solemn and deep church bell
Entreats the soul to pray,
The midnight phantoms feel the spell,
The shadows sweep away.

Down the broad Vale of Tears afar
The spectral camp is fled;
Faith shineth as a morning star,
Our ghastly fears are dead.
 

"Say I Won't"
