109. He Will Keep

1 Jesus Christ is my salvation,
He will keep;
From the power of temptation
He will keep;
From the worlds’ bewitching snare,
Tho’ it find me unaware,
Jesus Christ, whose name I bear,
He will keep.

Chorus:
He will keep from ev’ry foe
Fearlessly with Him I god,
For my Savior is divine,
I am His and He is mine;
Till the lights in heaven shine,
He will keep.

2 When life’s peril o’er me hovers
He will keep;
My defenseless head He covers,
He will keep;
In the deadly grasp of pain
He is never sought in vain,
He who turns our loss to gain,
He will keep. [Chorus]

3 When I come to earth’s dark river
He will keep;
When the flesh and spirit quiver
He will keep;
Underneath my Savior’s arm
He’ll support in fear’s alarm,
And from ev’ry loss and harm,
He will keep. [Chorus]
