"Perseverance"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

"Perseverance"

1. Ye heaven-born souls, who stand complete,
In Christ your righteousness:
Your Father's hand shall guide your feet
To everlasting bliss.

2. Weakness itself is found in you,
And darkness when you pray;
But fear not, Christian, God is true,
You shall hold on your way.

3. Let earth molest, and Satan rage,
And troubles crowd each day;
Fear not, your Father does engage,
You shall hold on your way.

4. The oath of God, and cov'nant love,
And Jesus' blood, all say,
You shall His Spirit's influence prove,
And still hold on your way.

5. Till sin is slain, and death o'ercome,
Till everlasting day;
Till you arrive in heaven your home,
You shall hold on your way.
