They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.
Psalm 125:1
Words & Music: Clarence M. Seamans, in The Golden Sheaf, enlarged edition (Boston, Massachusetts: Advent Christian Publication Society, 1902) (🔊 pdf nwc).

All they who put their trust in God
Can never be removed;
They stand secure like Zion’s mount,
By many ages proved.
Refrain
Like the mount of God,
Like the mount of God;
They stand secure like Zion’s mount,
By many ages proved.
They can never be removed, removed;
They stand secure like Zion’s mount,
They can never be removed.
As round about Jerusalem
The rugged mountains lie,
So round about His holy saints
Our God is ever nigh.
Refrain
Tho’ fierce the storm in fury beat
And awful thunders roar,
The children of the mighty God
Are safe forevermore.
Refrain
Thus overshadowed by His love,
Where harm can ne’er betide,
Within this refuge safe and sure
I ever would abide.
Refrain
