Lyics

FIRM as the earth thy gospel stands,

My love, my hope, my trust;

If I am found in Jesus' hands,

My soul can ne'er be lost.



His honor is engag'd to save

The meanest of his sheep;

All that his heav'nly Father gave,

His hands securely keep.



Nor death, nor hell, shall e'er remove

His fav'rites from his breast:

In the dear bosom of his love

They must for ever rest.
