The word of God continues sure

Verse 1
The word of God continues sure
On which my soul is cast,
Thou shalt my tempted soul secure,
Till every storm is past:
With all who on thy truth depend
Thou promisest to stay,
From every evil to defend,
And keep us night and day.

Verse 2
According to my faith in Thee
It shall to me be done:
My Guide to death, my Guardian be,
Be careful of thine own:
For lo! into thy hands I give
My ransom’d spirit back,
Which (if I trust Thou wilt not leave)
Thou never canst forsake.
