A Hymn and Prayer-Book #205
1 As long as Jesus Lord remains,
Each day new rising glory gains;
It was, it is, and will be so
With His Church Militant below.
2 Our only stay is Jesus’ grace,
In every time and every place;
And Jesus’ blood-bought righteousness
Remains His Church’s glorious dress.
3 All self-dependence is but vain,
Christ doth our Cornerstone remain,
Our Rock Which will unshaken stay,
When heaven and earth are fled away.
