Devotional for February 15

My Saviour from the wrath to come,

From present evil save;

Avert the deep impending gloom,

The darkness of the grave.

 

Still hold my soul in life, I pray;

A dying worm reprieve;

And let me all my lengthen’d day

Unto thy glory live.

 

Now, Lord, I have made thee known

My troubled soul’s request,

And sink in calm dependence down,

Within thy arms to rest:

 

Secure, in danger’s darkest hour,

Thy faithfulness to prove,

Protected by almighty power,

And everlasting love.
