Security

I would not dare to live another day

If Thou, O Chirst, couldst fail,

Or should Thy prayers before Thy Father’s throne

Cease to avail.

But since I know that Thou wilt be the same

Throughout eternity,

That I am kept by that same love

That purchased me;

And am persuaded that in Thee

I need not fall,

Since I committed unto Thee

My soul, my all-

I will not fear though calm give place to storm

And peace to war;

For when my Saviour putteth forth His sheep,

He goes before.
