Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#261

261. Forever Settled in the Heavens

1 Forever settled in the heavens,
Thy Word, O Lord, shall firmly stand;
Thy faithfulness shall never fail;
The earth abides at Thy command.

2 Thy Word and works unmoved remain,
Thine every purpose to fulfil;
All things are Thine and Thee obey,
And all as servants wait Thy will.

3 I should have perished in my woe
Had not I loved Thy law divine;
That law I never can forget;
O save me, Lord, for I am Thine.

4 The wicked would destroy my soul,
But in Thy truth I muse with awe;
Imperfect I have found all else,
But boundless is Thy wondrous law.
