For I am your God and will still give you aid; I'll strengthen and help you, and cause you to stand, upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go, the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; for I will be with you, your troubles to bless, and sanctify to you your deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie, my grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply: the flame shall not hurt you, I only design your dross to consume, and your gold to refine. 5 "The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose I will not -- I will not desert to his foes; that soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake, I'll never -- no, never -- no, never forsake!"

All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Jehovah, Father, great I AM, we worship thee.' 9 Before the Saviour's face the ransomed nations bow, o'erwhelmed at his almighty grace for ever new; he shows his prints of love they kindle to a flame, and sound through all the worlds above the slaughtered Lamb. 10 The whole triumphant host give thanks to God on high; 'hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,' they ever cry: hail, Abraham's God, and mine, (I join the heavenly lays) all might and majesty are thine, and endless praise.

How rise thy towers, serene and bright, to meet the dawning day! 5 In vain the surge's angry shock, in vain the drifting sands: unharmed upon the eternal Rock the eternal city stands.
