When darkness veils his loving face, 
I rest on his unchanging grace. 
In every high and stormy gale, 
my anchor holds within the vale.

His oath, his covenant, his blood, 
support me in the ‘whelming flood. 
When all around my soul gives way, 
he then is all my hope and stay.

When he shall come with trumpet sound, 
oh, may I then in him be found, 
dressed in his righteousness alone, 
faultless to stand before the throne.
