Firme Estaré

1 Cristo guarda siempre, puedo en él confiar;
no me deja nunca, puedo en él confiar,
Pues, cual la Roca eterna de los siglos,
firme estaré.

Coro:
¡Nada, no, nada me as de mover!
¡Nada, no, nada me as de mover!
Pues, cual la Roca eterna de los siglos,
firme estaré.

2 Fuerte es Jesucristo, puedo en él confiar;
todo me ha provisto, puedo en él confiar,
Pues cual la Roca eterna de los siglos,
firme estaré. [Coro]

3 En la noche oscura, puedo en él confiar;
mi alma está segura, puedo en él confiar,
Pues cual la Roca eterna de los siglos,
firme estaré. [Coro]

4 Muchos me abandona, puedo en él confiar;
otros me engañan, puedo en él confiar;
Pues cual la Roca eterna de los siglos,
firme estaré. [Coro]

Author (refrain): Anonymous

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >

Author (verses): John T. Benson

Mr. John T. Benson, Sr. was born on February 19, 1861 in the Edgefield community in east Nashville and was brought up in the Tulip Street Methodist Church where his father was a charter member. John T. and his wife were involved in the founding of an independent holiness church that later became the Church of the Nazarene. Mr. Benson served as minister of music, first in the mission and then in the Church. The Bensons wrote some gospel songs, but their greatest contribution was in the publishing and distribution of song books and hymnals. He founded the John T Benson Publishing Company in Nashville. John Sr. died on June 24, 1930 in Nashville. NN, Hymnary. Source: http://www.gmahalloffame.org/speaker-lineup/john-t-benson-sr/ Go to person page >
