Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CXXV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Hymn Book Lyrics: 1 Unshaken as the sacred hill,
And firm as mountains stand,
Firm as a rock the soul shall rest,
That trusts th'almighty hand.
2 Not walls nor hills could guard so well
Old Salem's happy ground,
As those eternal arms of love
That ev'ry saint surround.
3 While tyrants are a smarting scourge
To drive them near to God,
Divine compassion will assuage
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 those crooked ways
That the old serpent drew,
The wrath that drove him first to hell,
Shall smite his follow'rs too. Topics: The Saint's Trial and Safety Scripture: Psalm 125 Languages: English
