Tune: FÜRCHTE DICH NICHT (Witty)
Published in 8 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee.

2 Marvel not that I say unto you,
marvel not that I say unto you,
marvel not that I say unto you,
"You must be born again."

3 Tho' your sins as scarlet be,
tho' your sins as scarlet be,
tho' your sins as scarlet be,
they shall be white as snow.

4 If the Son shall make you free,
if the Son shall make you free,
if the Son shall make you free,
you shall be free indeed.

5 They that wait upon the Lord,
they that wait upon the Lord,
they that wait upon the Lord,
they shall renew their strength.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
