What though my flesh and heart decay; Thee shall I love in endless day. 793 Triumphant confidence in the Saviour. 156–a STILL nigh me, O my Saviour, stand, And guard in fierce temptation's hour; Hide in the hollow of thy hand; Show forth in me thy saving power: Still be thy arms my sure defence, Nor earth nor hell shall pluck me thence. 2 Since thou hast bid me come to thee, (Good as thou art, and strong to save,) I'll walk o'er life's tempestuous sea, Upborne by the unyielding wave; And half o'erwhelm my sinking soul; Unhurt, on snares and death I'll tread: Though sin assail, and hell, thrown wide, Pour all its flames upon my head; Like Moses' bush I'll mount the higher, And flourish, unconsumed, in fire. 1.
