"God's Care of His Church"

[KenH]

A hymn written by Robert Hawker in Zion's Hymns. (in long meter)

"God's Care of His Church"

1. When clouds around our Zion rise,
And mortals dare our Christ despise;
God's remnant is His special care,
Though peel'd and scatter'd, here and there.

2. They are th' election of His grace,
Though but a remnant of our race;
For ever dear to Jesus' heart,
And with them He will never part.

3. The choice of His eternal love,
Shall reign with Jesus Christ above;
He calls, and conquers them by grace,
And they shall see His lovely face.
