God will not forsake His children
He will not reject His own
Though the world may cause them troubles
They are still safe in His hand
Though the wicked seem to prosper
It is only for a time
For the wealth they gain through evil
Will not prosper when they die
When it goes well with the righteous
Then the land is blessed with good
But by the lies of the wicked
Is the city over thrown
Oh, that men would love righteousness
And be blameless in their ways
Oh, that we would turn and repent
Of our lusts and arrogance
But as men once rejected Christ
Because their deeds were evil
So now men still do wickedness
For their hearts are evil filled
Now as farmers reap a harvest
From the seeds that they have sown
So in our sins we have filled the
World with disease, pain, and woe
In these days men only grow worse
For they love lies more than truth
Come, Lord Jesus, all the saints
Await and long and yearn for You
