Matthew 28:20: This is the word in every age
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
This is the word in every age
Which doth support and keep
From sin, the world, and Satan's rage,
I'he shepherds and the sheep:
Thy ministers and people too
On this alone depend,
Thou said'st "I always am with you,
Till time and death shall end."
Jesus I faithfully receive
The promise made to me.
And happy in Thy service live,
To gather souls for Thee:
I trust Thy truth and love and power.
Thy messenger to bless.
Till brought through every fiery hour
Thou bidd'st me die in peace.
