Life! Yes, “Hath life everlasting!”
Holy, blest, assuring word!
Who to thee has thus now spoken?
Oh! tis Jesus—tis my Lord!
Yes, my Father, I believe Thee;
Yes, my Lord, Thy word I hear
Thou, O Jesus, died to save me,
Gone is all my doubt and fear.
“They shall never, never perish!”
Words of comfort, words of balm;
Oh my soul, tis Jesus speaking!
Raise to Him thy sweetest psalm.
“From My hand no one shall pluck them!”
’Tis my mighty Shepherd’s word;
Jesus, o’er all powers triumphant,
Has His feeble sheep cared.
Free indeed the Son shall make you!
Never let me from Thee roam;
Happy in my Father’s presence,
Dwelling like a child at home.
