1 When sins and fears prevailing, rise, And fainting hope almost expires; Jesus to thee I lift mine eyes, To thee I breathe my soul's desires.
2 Art thou not mine, my living Lord! And can my hope, my comfort die, Fix'd on thy everlasting word That word which built the earth and sky!
3 If my immortal Saviour lives, Then my immortal life is sure; His word a firm foundation gives, Here, let me build, and rest secure.
4 Here, O my soul, thy trust repose; If Jesus is for ever mine, Not death itself, that last of foes Shall break a union so divine.
