Saviour, we nothing have to fear

Saviour, we nothing have to fear,
Whate’er our flesh may here endure,
From sin, the world, and Satan near
Thy promise shall our souls secure:
No evil can afflict or grieve
A saint that on thy truth relies:
Safe in the toils of hell we live,
As in the bowers of paradise.
