In grateful songs we will record,
The truth and mercy of the Lord;
Whose kindness never shall remove,
From those he condescends to love.
With all his saints his covenant stood,
And now ‘tis sealed with Jesus’ blood;
His faithfulness shall still endure,
His promise is for ever sure.
What though the earth’s foundations move,
There’s nought can change eternal love;
Let death dissolve our feeble frame,
In life and death he is the same.
When called to pass that dreary vale,
With trembling steps and visage pale,
What sweet companions on the road—
A peaceful mind—a smiling God.
