Representative Text

1 O wand’rer from the Saviour’s fold,
Where’er thy way may be,
Can earth such sweet assurance give
AS that He offers thee?

Refrain:
Heav’n and earth shall pass away,
But my words shall not pass away;
Heav’n and earth shall pass away,
But my words shall not pass away.

2 Canst thou not hear His loving words,
Thro’ all earth’s restless strife,
“He that believeth on the Son
Hath everlasting life.” [Refrain]

3 Fear not; believe, for only they
Who trust may enter in;
By faith eternal life is won,
And vict’ry over sin. [Refrain]

4 Come, then, O soul, and find in Him
Thy life, thy rest, thy peace;
So shall thy heav’nly joys begin,
And never, never cease. [Refrain]
