Hymn 487

All You that in the Flood

LONSDALE, S.M.

All you that in the flood
Have owned your holy Lord,
And to His people joined yourselves
According to His word:
In Zion you should dwell,
Her altar ne'er forsake;
Should come to all her duties well,
And all her joys partake.

She should employ your thoughts,
And your unceasing care,
Her welfare be your constant wish,
And her increase your prayer.
With humbleness of mind
Among her sons rejoice;
A meek and quiet spirit is
With God of highest price.

Never offend nor grieve
Your brethren in the way,
But shun the dark abodes of strife
Like children of the day.
In all your Savior's ways,
With willing footsteps move;
Be faithful unto death and then
He'll give you rest above.
