Perseverance

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: John 10:29 First Line: Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? Lyrics: 1 Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? 'Tis God who justifies their souls; And mercy, like a mighty stream, O'er all their sins divinely rolls. 2 Who shall adjudge the saints to hell? 'Tis Christ who suffered in their stead; And their salvation to fulfill, Behold him rising from the dead! 3 He lives! he lives! and sits above, For ever interceding there: Who shall divide us from his love, Or what shall tempt us to despair? 4 Shall persecution or distress, Famine, or sword, or nakedness? He who hath loved us bears us through, And makes us more than conquerors too. 5 Not all that men on earth can do, Nor powers on high, nor powers below, Shall cause his mercy to remove, Or wean our hearts from Christ, our love.

Dear Savior, if these lambs should stray

Author: Hyde Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 124 hymnals Scripture: John 10 Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, if these lambs should stray Beyond thy blest enclosure's bound; And, lured by worldly joys away, Among the thoughtless crowd be found; 2 Remember, still, that they are thine, And that thy sacred name they bear; The precious seal of love divine, The sign of cov'nant grace they wear. 3 In all their wand'rings, hopes, and fears, Oh, let them ne'er forgotten be; Remember all the prayers and tears Which made them consecrate to thee. 4 And when these lips no more can pray, These eyes can weep for them no more, Still turn their feet from folly's way; The wand'rers to thy fold restore.
