THOU REMAINEST

"They shall perish; but Thou remainest." Hebrews 1:11

Words: Daniel Webster Whittle, circa 1886.
Music: James McGranahan.
Thou remainest, blest Redeemer,
Lord of peace and Lord of strife,
Jesus, Savior, Lord forever,
Thou remainest, Christ, my life.

Refrain

Thou remainest (Thou remainest)
Thou remainest (Thou remainest)
Thou remainest, Christ, my all (Christ, my all);
Peace or conflict, joy or sorrow,
Thou remainest, Christ, my all.

Satisfying every longing,
Of my sinful soul for grace;
From my weakness never turning,
Thou remainest, Christ, my peace.

Refrain

One by one by loved may leave me,
Voices sweet no more be heard;
But of God naught can bereave me,
Thou remainest, Christ, my Lord.

Refrain

When from earth, Thou, Lord, shalt call me,
Calm I'll lay my burden down;
For I know, whate'er befall me,
Thou remainest, Christ, my crown.
