John 10:28: The faith Thou dost even now bestow
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
The faith Thou dost even now bestow,
Even now the life eternal give,
And Thee their Lord who truly know
The hidden life of glory live;
Their souls are in those hands of Thine,
Kept by the power of love Divine.
Obsequious to Thy dear commands
With Thee alone who safely dwell.
Sin shall not pluck out of Thy hands,
Nor all the force of earth or hell;
And if the Truth can never lie.
Believing souls can never die.
