Forever Settled in the Heavens

Representative Text

1 Forever settled in the heav'ns,
Thy word, O LORD, shall firmly stand;
Thy faithfulness shall never fail;
The earth abides at Thy command.

2 Thy word and works unmoved remain,
Thine every purpose to fulfill;
all things are Thine and Thee obey,
and all as servants wait Thy will.

3 I should have perished in my woe
had not I loved Thy law divine;
that law I never can forget;
O save me, Lord, for I am Thine.

4 The wicked would destroy my soul,
but on Thy truth I muse with awe;
imperfect I have found all else,
but boundless is Thy wondrous law.
