Safety in Christ. Phil. 4. 19; Heb. 13. 6
1
Immortal honours rest on Jesus’ head;
 
My God, my Portion, and my Living Bread;
 
In him I live, upon him cast my care;
 
He saves from death, destruction, and despair.
2
He is my Refuge in each deep distress;
 
The Lord my strength and glorious righteousness;
 
Through floods and flames he leads me safely on,
 
And daily makes his sovereign goodness known.
3
My every need he richly will supply;
 
In him there dwells a treasure all divine,
 
And matchless grace has made that treasure mine.
4
O that my soul could love and praise him more,
 
His beauties trace, his majesty adore;
 
Live near his heart, upon his bosom lean;
 
Obey his voice, and all his will esteem.
