Kept by the Power of God

Representative Text

1 Now in the love of the Savior abiding,
Feeling the peace that shall ne'er pass away;
Sweetly I rest since I know He is guiding
Giving me strength to suffice for my day.

Chorus:
Kept by the power of God day after day,
Kept by the pow'r of God, bright is my way!
Safe I abide, close to His side,
Kept by the pow'r of God!

2 Kept by the power of God, I am dreading
Naught that the future is holding in store;
Faith o'er my pathway its radiance shedding,
Kept by the power of God evermore. [Chorus]

3 Clasping His hand Who will never forsake me,
Onward I journey in sunshine of shade;
Safely across death's dark water He'll take me,
Clasping His hand, I shall not be afraid. [Chorus]

4 Kept by the power of God, let me ever
Tell unto others His goodness to me;
Gladly I'll serve Him with earnest endeavor,
As He has blest me, a blessing I'll be. [Chorus]
