Safety in Christ. John 14. 19

1 Thy purchased people, gracious Lamb,
  Thou never canst forget;
  The piercing nails have wrote their name
  Upon thy hands and feet.

2 Satan, in vain, with rage assails
  Thy dear peculiar ones;
  For them thy righteousness avails;
  For them thy blood atones.

3 Vainly against the sheep he strives,
  And wars with the Most High;
  Their glorious Head for ever lives,
  Nor can his members die.

4 Jesus shall his elect avenge,
  Nor from his own remove;
  Nor cancel his decree, nor change
  His everlasting love.
