1 My trust I place now and ever
In One my soul can deliver,
A Refuge strong, failing never,
For His word is sure.

Refrain:
I am Alpha and Omega,
The beginning and the ending,
Which is and which was,
And which is to come.
I am Alpha and Omega,
The Beginning and the ending,
The Almighty, the Almighty, saith the Lord.

2 My heart with joy now is telling
Of Him who finds there a dwelling,
Whose love is gently compelling
On His word to rest. [Refrain]

3 Jehovah, God! Still attend me,
From doubt and fear still defend me,
Faith to sustain ever send me,
That my soul fail not. [Refrain]
