Who in the Lord confide

Verse 1
Who in the Lord confide,
And feel his sprinkled blood, (Heb. 12:24, I Pet. 1:2)
In storms and hurricanes abide
Firm as the mount of God: (Ps. 125:1, Mat. 7:24-27)
Stedfast, and fixt, and sure
His Sion cannot move, (Ps. 125:1)
His faithful people stand secure
In Jesus’ guardian love. (Rom. 8:38-39)

Verse 2
As round Jerusalem
The hilly bulwarks rise, (Ps. 125:2)
So God protects and covers them
From all their enemies: (Ps. 125:2)
On every side he stands,
And for his Israel cares,
And safe in his almighty hands
Their souls forever bears. (John 10:28-29)

Verse 3
For lo! The reign of hell (Rom. 5:14, Rom. 5:17, Rom. 5:21)
And hellish men is o’er, (Ps. 125:3)
They can persuade, they can compel
The just to sin no more: (Rom. 6:14)
To devils, men, or sin,
They need no more give place, (Eph. 4:27)
Nor ever touch the thing unclean (II Cor. 6:17, Isa. 52:11, Lev. 5:2, Lev. 7:19, Lev. 7:21, Lev. 15:27, Lev. 22:5-6)
When cleans’d by pard’ning grace. (Ps. 125:3)

Verse 4
But let them still abide
In thee, all-gracious Lord, (John 15:4)
Till ev’ry soul is sanctify’d, (I Thess. 5:23)
And perfectly restor’d.
The men of heart sincere
Continue to defend,
And do them good, and save them here, (Ps. 125:4)
And love them to the end. (John 13:1)

Verse 5
Who to their sins draw back, (Ps. 125:5, Heb. 10:38-39, II Pet. 2:21-22)
And love again to stray,
The narrow path of life forsake, (Ps. 16:11)
And throng the spacious way, (Matt. 7:13-14)
Back to their vomit turn, (Prov. 26:11, II Pet. 2:22)
And fall from pard’ning grace; (Gal. 5:4)
The Lord to punish them hath sworn,
And drive them from his face. (Ps. 125:5)

Verse 6
But peace, and pow’r, and love (Ps. 29:11)
Shall Israel’s portion be, (Ps. 125:5, Ps. 73:26)
They all his promises shall prove,
And all his goodness see,
Holy and pure in heart (Matt. 5:8)
Obtain the perfect pow’r:
They can no more from God depart
When they can sin no more. (Rom. 6:22, I Jn. 3:9, I Jn. 5:18)
