O wand’rer from the Sav­ior’s fold,
Where’er thy way may be,
Can earth such sweet as­sur­ance give
As that He of­fers thee?

Refrain

Heav’n and earth shall pass away,
But My words shall not pass away;
Heav’n and earth shall pass away,
But My words shall not pass away.

Canst thou not hear His lov­ing words,
Thro’ all earth’s rest­less strife,
He that be­liev­eth on the Son
Hath ev­er­last­ing life.

Refrain

Fear not; be­lieve, for on­ly they
Who trust may en­ter in;
By faith eter­nal life is won,
And vic­t’ry over sin.

Refrain

Come, then, O soul, and find in Him
Thy life, thy rest, thy peace;
So shall thy heav’n­ly joys be­gin,
And ne­ver, ne­ver cease.
