Change is our portion here!
The calm and sunny sea
Sleeps, when the wildest storm is near;
So doomed to change are we:
But faithful is Jehovah’s word,
‘I will be with thee,’ saith the Lord.
Change is our portion here!
Youth’s smooth unwrinkled brow
Age soon shall furrow, and the tear
Down the fair cheek shall flow:
But faithful is Jehovah’s word,
‘I will be with thee,’ saith the Lord.
Change is our portion here!
Soon fades the summer sky,
The landscape droops in autumn sear,
And spring flowers bloom to die;
But faithful is Jehovah’s word,
‘I will be with thee,’ saith the Lord.
Change is our portion here!
Yet ‘midst our changing lot,
‘Midst withereing flowers and tempests drear,
There is —that changes not:
Unchangeable Jehovah’s word,
‘I will be with thee,’ saith the Lord.
Changeless, the way of peace;
Changeless, Immanuel’s name;
Changeless, the covenant of grace,
Eternally the same:
‘I change not,’ is our Father’s word,
I will be with thee, saith the Lord.
