Listen— “They shall never perish!”
Who “shall never perish,” who?
We would learn to whom it, speaketh,
Who, and whence they are, would know.
Listen—’tis the word of Jesus, And ‘tis spoken of His sheep—
In His hand in perfect safety,
He has promised each to keep.
Born they were, as sons of Adam,
Sinful, fallen, of the earth,
They have heard the word of Jesus,
And have now a heavenly birth.
Now, from Satan’s power delivered,
Jesus sets on them His love:
They shall “never, never perish”
He will bear them safe above.
