Forever Settled in the Heavens

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: John Hatton, 1793

Forever set­tled in the heav’ns

Thy Word

O Lord

shall firm­ly stand;

Thy faith­ful­ness shall nev­er fail;

The earth abides at Thy com­mand.

Thy Word and works un­moved remain

Thine ev­ery pur­pose to ful­fill;

All things are Thine and Thee ob­ey

And all as serv­ants wait Thy will.

I should have per­ished in my woe

Had not I loved Thy law di­vine;

That law I nev­er can for­get;

O save me

Lord

for I am Thine.

The wick­ed would de­stroy my soul

But in Thy truth is re­fuge sure;

Exceeding broad is Thy com­mand

And in per­fect­ion shall en­dure.
