| 1 | O Lamb of God, still keep us | John 1:36; John 19:34; Proverbs 21:31; John 14:27; Psalm 23:5; 2 Corinthians 7:5; Luke 15:4 |
| Close to Thy piercèd side; |
| 'Tis only there in safety |
| And peace we can abide; |
| With foes and snares around us, |
| And lusts and fears within, |
| The grace that sought and found us, |
| Alone can keep us clean. |
|
| 2 | 'Tis only in Thee hiding | Psalm 17:8; John 15:4-5; 2 Timothy 2:3; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Deuteronomy 9:29; Psalm 44:3; Psalm 98:1; Jude 1:21; 1 Peter 5:7 |
| We feel ourselves secure; |
| Only in Thee abiding |
| The conflict can endure; |
| Thine arm the victory gaineth |
| O'er every hateful foe; |
| Thy love our hearts sustaineth, |
| In all their cares and woe. |
|
| 3 | Soon shall our eyes behold Thee | Revelation 22:4; 1 Corinthians 13:12; Revelation 14:13; Isaiah 33:17; Ephesians 3:19 |
| With rapture, face to face; |
| And, resting there in glory, |
| We'll sing Thy power and grace: |
| Thy beauty, Lord, and glory, |
| The wonders of Thy love, |
| Shall be the endless story |
| Of all Thy saints above. |
