But wholly lean on Jesus' name.

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

My anchor holds within the veil.

Support me in the whelming flood;

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

Clad in His righteousness alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.

V. 1 Gracious Father, guard Thy children

From the foe's destructive power;

Save, O save them, Lord, from falling

In this dark and trying hour.

Thou wilt surely prove Thy people,

All our graces must be tried;

But Thy word illumes our pathway,

And in God we still confide.

Soon we shall behold our Lord,

Wafted far away from sorrow,

To receive our rich reward.

Keep us, Lord, till Thine appearing,

Pure, unspotted from the world;

Let Thy Holy spirit cheer us

Till Thy banner is unfurled.

When the Lord for whom we've waited

Shall proclaim the jubilee!

Freedom from this world's pollutions;

Freedom from all sin and pain;

Freedom from the wiles of Satan,

And from death's destructive reign.
