Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unshaken as the sacred hill,
And firm as mountains be,
Firm as a rock the soul shall rest
That leans, O Lord, on Thee.
2 Not walls nor hills could guard so well
Old Salem’s happy ground,
As those eternal arms of love
That every saint surround.
3 While tyrants are a smarting scourge
To drive them near to God,
Divine compassion does allay
The fury of the rod.
4 Deal gently, Lord, with souls sincere,
And lead them safely on
To the bright gates of paradise,
Where Christ their Lord is gone.
5 But if we trace the crooked ways
That the old serpent drew,
The wrath that drove him first to hell
Shall smite his followers, too.
