Safety in Christ
Author: Adams Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #347 (1844) First Line: Lord, how many are my foes! Lyrics: 1 Lord, how many are my foes!
Many they that me oppose;
Thou my strong Protector be;
All my safety is in thee.
2 Satan and my wicked heart
Often use their treacherous art;
Fain would make my soul to flee;
But my safety is in thee.
3 Thou hast said and thou art true,
“As I live, ye shall live too;”
Thou my Rock wilt ever be;
All my safety is in thee.
4 I’m a pilgrim here below;
Guide me all the desert through;
Let me, as I journey, see
All my safety is in thee.
5 Then, when landed on that shore,
Where my mind was fixed before,
In sweet raptures I shall see
All my safety was in thee. Topics: Perseverance Languages: English

John Adams
1751 - 1835 Author of "Safety in Christ" Adams, John. (Northampton, England 1751-May 15, 1835, Northampton). Baptist. Apprenticed to an iron monger. At age eighteen, united with Baptist church in Northampton of which John Collett Ryland was pastor. Later excluded from the church because of a change of view. After retiring from business, he moved his residence several times bur subsequently returned to Northampton, where he died. His first hymns were published in the Gospel Magazine in 1776. One hymn ascribed to "S. P. R." in Service of Song but written by Adams begins:
Jesus is our great salvation,
Worthy of our best esteem!
This hymn appearing also in Rippon's Selection of 1813 concerns salvation by election as does one other hymn:
Sons we are through God's election.
Many of Adams' hymns remain in manuscript.
