After Sermon (Book III, Hymn 97)

by John Newton 1725–1807

From Olney Hymns, Book III (1779)

Religion

JESUS is mine! I'm now prepared
To meet with what I thought most hard;
Yes, let the winds of trouble blow,
And comforts melt away like snow:
No blasted trees, or failing crops,
Can hinder my eternal hopes;
Though creatures change, the LORD'S the same,
Then let me triumph in his name.
