Verse 1
The faith of Paul they see,
And then the word receive,
Reviv’d by his alacrity
They venture to believe;
His firmness they behold
Whose life on Christ is cast,
And thro’ his confidence made bold
They all escape at last.
Verse 2
Tis thus with faithful Paul
To dying souls we cry,
And bid them trust the Lord of all,
On whom ourselves rely:
Redeem’d for Jesus sake,
Believe our gospel true;
Our own eternal life we stake
On what we promise you.
Verse 3
Our danger is the same,
But lo, we dare depend
For grace and glory on his Name
Whom we to You commend:
With us his word believe,
With us his promise prove,
Your life thro’ Jesus’ death receive,
And reach the port above.
