HYMN 138. (C. M.) Saints in the Hand of Christ, John x. 28, 29.
I
Firm as the earth thy gospel stands,My Lord, my hope, my trust;
If I am found in Jesus' hands
My soul can ne'er be lost.
II
His honour is engag'd to saveThe meanest of his sheep,
All that his heavenly Father gave
His hands securely keep.
III
Nor death, nor hell, shall e'er removeHis favourites from his breast,
In the dear bosom of his love
They must for ever rest.
