Lyics

THEY who trust in Christ the Saviour,

Never shall confounded be;

Through his merits all find favor,

Who to God for mercy flee.

Though by guilt and sin depraved,

Though by grief and fear oppressed,

Call upon him and be saved,

With his Spirit, oh be bless'd!



He binds up the broken hearted;

He proclaims the pris'ners free;

None shall ever be deserted,

Who to him for refuge flee:

Cast on him your every burden,

He your spirit will sustain;

He has promised peace and pardon,

None shall seek his face in vain.



When with torrents of temptation,

Satan shall thy soul assail;

Then his standard of salvation,

Shall against the foe prevail:

He will give both grace and glory,

No good thing will he deny;

He a table spreads before thee,

And shall all thy wants supply.
