My Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee

For a little while

Have I forsaken thee

But with great mercies will I gather thee

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee

For a moment

But with everlasting kindness will I gather thee

And with mercy will I take thee 'neath my wings

For the mountains shall depart

And the hills shall be removed

And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea

But know, my child

My kindness shall not depart from thee

Though thine afflictions seem

At times too great to bear

I know thine every thought and every care

And though the very jaws

Of hell gape after thee I am with thee

And with everlasting mercy will I succor thee

And with healing will I take thee 'neath my wings

Though the mountains shall depart

And the hills shall be removed

And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea

Know, my child

My kindness shall not depart from thee

How long can rolling waters

Remain impure?

What pow'r shall stay the hand of God?

The Son of Man hath descended below all things

Art thou greater than He?

So hold on thy way

For I shall be with thee

And mine angels shall encircle thee

Doubt not what thou knowest

Fear not man, for he

Cannot hurt thee

And with everlasting kindness will I succor thee

And with mercy will I take thee 'neath my wings

For the mountains shall depart

And the hills shall be removed

And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea

But know, my child

My kindness shall not depart from thee
