In God, the faithful, wise and just;
His promises will He fulfil,
To all who love and do His will.
2 When wrath o’erwhelms a guilty land,
His cov’nant truth shall firmly stand,
A sure retreat, a strong defense,
Nor shall you e’er be riven thence.
3 You, He’ll in perfect safety keep,
Amongst the number of His sheep;
Or if in public griefs you share,
His hand will still the faithful spare. Used With Tune: HESPERUS Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton & Briggs, 1818)
Come, Humble Saints, And Place Your Trust
