“Heaven and earth shall pass away.” Matt. 24. 35

1 The moon and stars shall lose their light,
  The sun shall sink in endless night;
  Both heaven and earth shall pass away;
  The works of nature all decay.

2 But they that in the Lord confide,
  And shelter in his wounded side,
  Shall see the danger overpast,
  Stand every storm, and live at last.

3 What Christ has said must be fulfilled;
  On this firm rock, believers build;
  His word shall stand, his truth prevail,
  And not one jot or tittle fail.

4 His word is this (poor sinners, hear);
  “Believe on me, and banish fear;
  Cease from your own works, bad or good,
  And wash your garments in my blood.”
