Safety in Christ

Augustus Toplady • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 137:5

Verse 1

Thy purchased people, gracious Lamb, Thou never canst forget; The piercing nails have wrote their name Upon thy hands and feet.

Verse 2

Satan, in vain, with rage assails Thy dear peculiar ones; For them thy righteousness avails; For them thy blood atones.

Verse 3

Vainly against the sheep he strives, And wars with the Most High; Their glorious Head for ever lives, Nor can his members die.

Verse 4

Jesus shall his elect avenge, Nor from his own remove; Nor cancel his decree, nor change His everlasting love.
