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.

 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.

 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.

 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.
