Everlasting arms of love

Verse 1

Everlasting arms of love Are beneath, around, above; He who left his throne of light, And unnumbered angels bright;

Verse 2

He who on the accursed tree Gave his precious life for me; He it is that bears me on, His the arm I lean upon.

Verse 3

All things hasten to decay, Earth and sea will pass away; Soon will yonder circling sun Cease his blazing course to run.

Verse 4

Scenes will vary, friends grow strange, But the Changeless cannot change; Gladly will I journey on, With his arm to lean upon.
