The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall posses within the veil,
A life of joy and peace
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
--John Newton (1725-1807)
