All from above. James 1.17; Mark 13. 31

1 When we pray, or when we sing,
  Or read, or speak, or hear,
  Or do any holy thing,
  Be this our constant care:
  With a fixed and constant faith
  Jesus Christ to keep in view,
  Trusting wholly in his death
  In all we ask or do.

2 Holiness in all its parts,
  Affections placed above,
  Self-abhorrence, contrite hearts,
  Humility, and love;
  Every virtue, every grace,
  All that bears the name of good,
  Perseverance in our race,
  We draw from Jesus’ blood.

3 Lamb of God, in thee we trust,
  On thy fixed love depend;
  Thou art faithful, true, and just,
  And lovest to the end.
  Heaven and earth shall pass away,
  But thy word shall firm abide;
  That’s thy children’s steadfast stay
  When all things fail beside.
