The Cyber Hymnal ‎#239

239. As a Tree Beside the Water

1. As a tree beside the water,
Has the Savior planted me;
All my fruit shall be in season,
I shall live eternally.

Refrain
I shall not be moved,
I shall not be moved,
Anchored to the Rock of Ages,
I shall not be moved.

2. Though the tempest rage around me,
Through the storm my Lord I see,
Pointing upward to that haven,
Where my loved ones wait for me. [Refrain]

3. When by grief my heart is broken,
And the sunshine steals away,
Then His grace, in mercy given,
Changes darkness into day. [Refrain]

4. When at last I stand before Him,
Oh, what joy it will afford,
Just to see the sinner ransomed,
And behold my sovereign Lord. [Refrain]
