A Selection of Psalms and Hymns ‎#CXVIII

CXVIII. Perseverance

1 The sinner that by precious faith,
Has felt his sins forgiv'n,
Is from that moment, pass'd from death,
And seal'd an heir of Heaven.

2 Tho' thousand snares enclose his feet,
Not one shall hold him fast,
Whatever dangers he may meet,
He shall get safe at last.

3 Not as the world the Saviour gives,
He is no fickle friend:
Whom once he loves, he never leaves;
But loves him to the end.

4 For Christ in ev'ry age has prov'd
His purchase firm and true,
If this foundation be remov'd,
What shall the righteous do?

5 Brethren by this your claim abide,
This title to your bliss:
Whatever loss you bear beside,
O! never give up this.
