If life’s pleasures cheer thee,

Give them not thy heart,

Lest the gifts ensnare thee

From thy God to part;

His praises speak, His favor seek,

Fix there thy hope’s foundation,

Love Him, and He shall ever be

The Rock of thy salvation.

If sorrow e’er befall thee,

Painful though it be,

Let not fear appall thee;

To thy Saviour flee;

He, ever near, thy prayer will hear,

And calm thy perturbation;

The waves of woe shall ne’er o’erflow

The Rock of thy salvation.

Death shall never harm thee,

Shrink not from his blow,

For thy God shall arm thee

And victory bestow;

For death shall bring to thee no sting,

The grave no desolation;

‘Tis gain to die with Jesus nigh –

The Rock of thy salvation.

- Francis Scott Key
