Text: | For ever settled in the heavens |
Tune: | DUKE STREET |
Composer: | John Hatton |
1 For ever settled in the heav'ns
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 ev'ry 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 is refuge sure;
Exceeding broad is thy command,
And in perfection shall endure.
Amen.
