John Newton 8,6,8,6 Perseverance. Rejoice, believer, in the LORD Who makes your cause his own; The hope that's built upon his word, Can ne'er be overthrown. Though many foes beset your road, And feeble is your arm; Your life is hid with CHRIST in GOD Beyond the reach of harm. Weak as you are, you shall not faint, Or fainting shall not die; JESUS, the strength of every saint, Will aid you from on high. Though sometimes unperceived by sense, Faith sees him always near; A Guide, a Glory, a Defence, Then what have you to fear? As surely as he overcame, And triumphed once for you; So surely you, that love his name, Shall triumph in him too. |
