Those things which cannot be shaken / Hebrews 12: 28
Now again the world is shaken, / Tempests break on sea and shore; / Earth with ruin overtaken, / Trembles while the storm-winds roar.
He abideth who confideth, / God is God forevermore.
Thrones are falling, heathen raging, / Peoples dreaming as of yore / Vain imaginations, waging / Man with man, unmeaning war.
He abideth who confideth, / Christ is King forevermore.
Human wisdom in confusion, / Casts away the forms it wore; / Ancient error, new illusion, / Lose the phantom fruit they bore, / He abideth who confideth, / Truth is truth forevermore.
Right eternal, Love immortal, / Built the House where we adore; / Mercy is its golden portal, / Virtue its unshaken floor.
He abideth who confideth, / God is God forevermore.
