Christ is the Keeper of his saints,
He guards them by his power;
Subdues their numerous complaints,
In every gloomy hour.
What though they fear each dread alarm,
Tried, and severely tossed;
Held by the Saviour's might arm,
None, none can e're be lost.
He'll lead them on fair Zion's road,
Though weary, weak, and faint;
For O! they ne'er shall lose their God.
Or God e'er lose a saint.
How sure his great salvation shines;
How full the vast reward;
How firm the promise e'er remains;
How faithful is the Lord!
Richard Burnham (1749-1810)
