[God is my hope and portion here]
And have hope toward God, which they, &c.
—xxiv. 15, 16.
God is my hope and portion here,
And till I at His bar appear
Body and soul with Him I trust:
My enemies themselves confess
That Jesus shall our bodies raise,
Judge of the wicked and the just.
And till I at His bar appear
Body and soul with Him I trust:
My enemies themselves confess
That Jesus shall our bodies raise,
Judge of the wicked and the just.
My hope by purity I show,
By labouring all my time below
A spotless conscience to maintain,
With that immortal prize in view,
Careful to render all their due,
Unblamable toward God and man.

Unblamable toward God and man.
