[This is the word in every age]
And, lo, I am with you alway, even unto, &c.
—xxviii. 20.
This is the word in every age
Which doth support and keep
From sin, the world, and Satan's rage,
The shepherds and the sheep:
Thy ministers and people too
On this alone depend,
Thou said'st “I always am with you,
Till time and death shall end.”

Jesus I faithfully receive
The promise made to me,
And happy in Thy service live,
To gather souls for Thee:
I trust Thy truth and love and power,
Thy messenger to bless,
Till brought through every fiery hour
Thou bidd'st me die in peace.
