Unchangeable

Verse 1

Here shall no trouble or dismay Reach us, nor want, nor sin, nor shame, For Christ to day and yesterday, And to eternity's the same.

Verse 2

Here consummate in joy and peace, We hail that wounded, bleeding heart, Where, sav'd from sin, we'll never cease To praise the Lamb our better part.

Verse 3

Now all things in one period turn; Sin dare no more to show its head; No more we want, nor sigh, nor mourn, On ev'ry foe we conq'ring tread.

Verse 4

The end is come, God hath appear'd, Assum'd our flesh, and blood, and bone; The body in his love, prepar'd, Is that, where Christ and we are one.

Verse 5

O death! where's now thy sting and curse? Where's now thy boasted pow'r and might? We feel no more the dread remorse, Nor can thy terrors us affright.

Verse 6

Glory to our incarnate God! We're sav'd in him, the work is done; He leads us, by the Saviour's blood, Up to the glories of his throne.
