A hymn written by Augustus Toplady. (in common meter)
"Safety in Christ"
1. Thy purchased people, gracious Lamb,
Thou never canst forget;
The piercing nails have wrote their name
Upon Thy hands and feet!
2. Satan, in vain, with rage assails
Thy dear peculiar ones;
For them Thy righteousness avails;
For them Thy blood atones.
3. Vainly against the sheep he strives,
And wars with the Most High;
Their glorious Head for ever lives,
Nor can His members die.
4. Jesus shall His elect avenge,
Nor from His own remove;
Nor cancel His decree, nor change
His everlasting love.
