Verse 2:
When darkness veils his loving face,
I rest on his unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the vale.
Verse 3:
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.
Verse 4:
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.
