Forever Settled in the Heavens
For-ev-er set-tled in the heavens,
Thy word, O Lord, shall firm-ly stand;
Thy faith-ful-ness shall nev-er fail;
The earth a-bides at Thy com-mand.
Thy word and works un-moved re-main,
Thine ev-ery pur-pose to ful-fill;
All things are Thine and Thee o-bey,
And all as ser-vants wait Thy will.
I should have per-ished in my woe
Had not I loved Thy law di-vine;
That law I nev-er can for-get;
O save me, Lord, for I am Thine.
The wick-ed would de-stroy my woul,
But in Thy truth is ref-uge sure;
Ex-ceed-ing broad is Thy com-mand,
And in per-fec-tion shall en-dure.
