1 The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures. MIM 118.5
2 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace. MIM 119.1
3 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who owns us here below,
Will be forever mine. MIM 119.2
