Words

Unshaken as the sacred hills,And fixed as mountains stand,Firm as a rock the soul shall restThat trusts th'Almighty hand.

Not walls nor hills could guard so wellFair Salem's happy groundAs those eternal arms of loveThat every saint surround.

Do good, O Lord, do good to thoseWho cleave to thee in heart,Who on thy truth alone repose,Nor from thy law depart.
