There is One amid all changes

There is one amid all changes

The LORD knoweth the days of the upright,

and their inheritance shall be for ever.

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time,

and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

verse 1:
There is One amid all changes
   Who standeth ever fast,
One who covers all the future,
   The present and the past;
It is Christ the Rock of Ages,
   The first and the last,
   The first and the last.

chorus:
     Jesus is the first,
     Jesus is the last,
     Trust Him for thy future,
     Leave with Him the past;
     Jesus is the first,
     Jesus is the last,
     Christ the Rock of Ages,
     The first and the last.

verse 2:
There is One whose arms upholdeth
   This whole creation vast,
Yet He bids us on His bosom
   Our cares and sorrows cast;
Let us bring them all to Jesus,
   The first and the last,
   The first and the last.

verse 3:
There is One whose love has kept us
   Through every stormy blast,
And His hand will guard and guide us
   Till all the storms are past;
Jesus, we will trust Thee ever,
   The first and the last,
   The first and the last.

verse 4:
First and last, O Christ, we crown Thee,
   Our fondest love Thou hast;
Lord of lords, before Thy footstool
   Let every crown be cast;
Haste the day when all shall crown Thee
   The first and the last,
   The first and the last.
