The Lord is ever true and just; He is my confidence and trust. Christ Jesus lives, who now despairs Is hard to please and ill-content. For promised grace he little cares, And of his sins may not repent . Salvations true and living way, Christ iserny trust, from day to day. Christ Jesus lives, His joy is mine; My life place at His command. want heart that's pure and fine, And will pernicious lust withstand. Free Helper of the weak and faint, Christ is my trust and my restraint. Christ Jesus lives of this I'm sure, From Him no force shall sever me, Not all temptations that allure, Or any fierce calamity.
