To God the only wise, | |||
Our Savior and our King, | |||
Let all the saints below the skies | |||
Their humble praises bring. | |||
'Tis His almighty love, | |||
His counsel, and His care, | |||
Preserves us safe from sin and death, | |||
And every hurtful snare. | |||
He will present our souls, | |||
Unblemished and complete, | |||
Before the glory of His face, | |||
With joys divinely great. | |||
Then all the chosen seed | |||
Shall meet around the throne, | |||
Shall bless the conduct of His grace, | |||
And make His wonders known. | |||
To our Redeemer, God, | |||
Wisdom and power belongs, | |||
Immortal crowns of majesty, | |||
And everlasting songs.}}''Persevering grace'' by Isaac Watts, based on Jude 1:24,25 | |||
