When sins and fears prevailing rise,
And fainting hope almost expires,
Jesus, to thee I lift mine eyes�
To thee I breathe my soul's desires.
Art thou not mine, my living Lord?
And can my hope, my comfort die,
Fixed on thy everlasting word�
That word which built the earth and sky?
If my immortal Saviour lives,
Then my immortal life is sure;
His word a firm foundation gives;
Here let me build, and rest secure.
Here let my faith unshaken dwell;
Immovable the promise stands;
Nor all the powers of earth or hell
Can e'er dissolve the sacred bands.
Here, O my soul, thy trust repose!
If Jesus is for ever mine,
Not death itself, that last of foes,
Shall break a union so divine.
