For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 'When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply: The flames shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine, Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 4 'E'en down to old age all my people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love, And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne. 5 'The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I cannot desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake!
