Noah preserved in the Ark, and the believer in Christ

Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Perseverance First Line: The deluge at the almighty's call Lyrics: 1 The deluge, at th’ almighty’s call, In what impetuous streams it fell! Swallow'd the mountains in its rage, And swept a guilty world to hell. 2 In vain the tallest sons of pride Fled from the close-pursuing wave, Nor could their mightiest towers defend, Nor swiftness ’scape, nor courage save. 3 How dire the wreck? how loud the roar: How shrill the universal cry Of millions in the last despair, Re-echo from the lowering sky! 4 Yet Noah, humble happy saint, Surrounded with the chosen few, Sat in his ark, secure from fear, And sang the grace that steer'd him ’thro. 5 So may I sing, in Jesus safe, When storms of vengeance round me fall, Conscious how high my hopes are fix'd, Beyond what shakes this earthly ball. 6 Enter thine ark, while patience waits, Nor ever quit that sure retreat; Then the wide flood, which buries earth, Shall waft thee to a fairer seat. 7 Nor wreck nor ruin there is seen; There not a wave of trouble rolls; But the bright rainbow round the throne Seals endless life to all their souls. Scripture: 1 Peter 3:20-21

'Twas "even so, Father," you ever must sing, "Because it seem'd good in thy sight." 5 'Twas all of thy grace we were bro't to obey While others were suffer'd to go, The road which by nature we chose as our way, Which leads to the regions of woe. 6 Then give all the glory to his holy name; To him all the glory belongs; Be yours the high joys still to sound forth his fame, And crown him in each of your songs. Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3
