“He will rest in his love.” Zeph. 3. 17; Ps. 89. 33

1 Salvation by grace, how charming the song!
  With seraphim join the theme to prolong;
  ’Twas planned by Jehovah in council above,
  Who to everlasting shall rest in his love.

2 This covenant of grace all blessings secures;
  Believers, rejoice, for all things are yours;
  And God from his purpose shall never remove,
  But love thee, and bless thee, and rest in his love.

3 But when, like a sheep that strays from the fold,
  To Jesus thy Lord thy love shall grow cold,
  Think not he’ll reject thee, howe’er he reprove;
  For though he correct thee, he’ll rest in his love.

4 In Jesus, the Lamb, the Father’s delight,
  The saints without blame appear in his sight;
  And while he in Jesus their souls shall approve,
  So long shall Jehovah abide in his love.
