How sure God's purpose is-- salvation's plan, designed before the earth and seas were made or stars aligned! From far eternal years the Lamb of God was slain, and sinful souls made heirs of grace to share his reign! How sure God's sovereign power to bring his will about! In silent love, unseen, he works his purpose out. All foes beneath his feet, all strength at his command, nor sin nor death nor hell can halt his holy hand. How sure God's promise is, our strength, our hope, our stay! The power that called forth light and life is ours today. God's all-creating truth his work of grace assures, for Christ, the Living Word of God our faith secures. How sure God's presence is! Though doubts and fears assail, for us our risen Savior's life and prayers prevail. Emmanuel is ours-- what power can then dismay? His Spirit leads us safely home to perfect day!
