“Kept by His pow’r”-no human arm upholding

September 5

“Kept by His pow’r”-no human arm upholding,
No human hand outstretched to point the way;
But God’s great love, His feeble child enfolding,
Is all sufficient for thy need each day.

“Kept by His pow’r”-when sun is brightly shining,
And glory crowns thy pathway with its light;
“Kept by His pow’r”-when daylight is declining,
And length’ning shadows tell of coming night.

“Kept” when the world for thee its smile is wreathing,
When skies are fair, and life with roses spread;
“Kept” when its frown to thee is bequeathing,
And clouds are massing darkly overhead.

His pow’r to keep is strong and true as ever;
No length of years can e’er its force abate;
His will to keep can never fail-no, never,
While Mercy stands at heav’n’s wide open gate.

Refrain
Kept by the pow’r of God unto salvation,
Ready to be revealed, revealed in the latter day;
Kept by the pow’r of God unto salvation,
Ready to be revealed in the latter day.
