Redeeming Love

Scripture: Psalm 107 Used With Tune: HALLE

Thou Jordan, why thy riven tide? Ye mountains and ye little hills, Why thus dismayed on ev'ry side? 4 O tremble, earth, before the Lord, In presence of Jehovah fear, Beneath whose touch the flinty rock Became a fount of waters clear.

Tho' all the world forsake me and Satan tempt me sore, Thru Jesus I shall safely reach the goal; He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star; He's the greatest of ten thousand to my soul. 3 He will never never leave me nor yet forsake me here, While I live by faith and do His blessed will; A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear - With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill. Then sweeping up to glory I'll see His blessed face, Where rivers of delight shall ever roll; He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star; He's the greatest of ten thousand to my soul.
