The Saints Trial and Safety; or, moderated Afflictions

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #238a (1740) First Line: Firm and unmov'd are they Lyrics: 1 Firm and unmov'd are they That rest their Souls on GOD; Firm as the Mount where David dwelt, Or where the Ark abode. 2 As Mountains stood to guard The City's sacred Ground, So GOD, and his Almighty Love Embrace his Saints around. 3 What though the Father's Rod Drop a chastising Stroke, Yet, lest it wound their Souls too deep, Its Fury shall be broke. 4 Deal gently, Lord, with those Whose Faith and pious Fear, Whose Hope, and Love, and ev'ry grace, Proclaim their Hearts sincere. 5 Nor shall the Tyrant's Rage Too long oppress the Saint; The GOD of Isr'el will support His Children, lest they faint. 6 But if our slavish Fear Will chuse the Road to Hell, We must expect our Portion there, Where bolder Sinners dwell.
