Representative Text

1 Firm on the Rock I stand,
Jesus, my Lord;
Held by Thy mighty hand,
Jesus, my Lord;
Filled with Thy love divine,
O what a joy is mine;
I am a child of Thine;
Jesus, my Lord.

Refrain:
Jesus, my Lord,
Jesus, my Lord;
I am a child of Thine,
Jesus, my Lord.

2 Thou art my constant Guest,
Jesus, my Lord;
Safe in Thy fold I rest,
Jesus, my Lord;
What tho' a cross I bear?
Bright is the pearl I wear,
Life in Thy life I share,
Jesus, my Lord. [Refrain]

3 Soon o'er the swelling tide,
Jesus, my Lord,
Home on the other side,
Jesus, my Lord,
I shall awake with Thee,
O what a joy is mine;
I am a child of Thine;
Jesus, my Lord. [Refrain]
