Hymns

The moon and stars shall lose their light,

by Joseph Hart·1814·Meter 8.8.8.8 (LM)

Based on Matt 24:35

1

The moon and stars shall lose their light,
The sun shall sink in endless night;
Both heaven and earth shall pass away;
The works of nature all decay.

2

But they that in the Lord confide,
And shelter in his wounded side,
Shall see the danger overpast,
Stand every storm, and live at last.

3

What Christ has said must be fulfilled;
On this firm rock, believers build;
His word shall stand, his truth prevail,
And not one jot or tittle fail.

4

His word is this (poor sinners, hear);
"Believe on me, and banish fear;
Cease from your own works, bad or good,
And wash your garments in my blood."
