A Few Hymns and Some Spiritual Songs. Selected 1856, for the Little Flock. Revised, 1881 ‎#264

264. Thou sit'st on high, eternal Word

1 Thou sit'st on high, eternal Word,
As Son of Man, as sov'reign Lord,
And now, by faith, on Thee we rest,
Till all Thy title have confessd.

2 Thou hast our souls from sins made clean,
Thy Spirit gives us strength within;
Whilst Thou for us in all our need
At God's right hand dost ever plead.

3 O keep us in the narrow way,
That ne'er from Thee our footsteps stray,
Sustain our weakness, calm our fear,
And to Thy presence keep us near.

4 Oh be it thus till that blest day,
When God shall wipe all tears away;
Quickly, 'tis promisd in the Word,
E'en so. Amen. Come quickly, Lord.
