Surety and Shield

"Be surety for Thy servant for good" (Psalm 119:122). "Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen" (Jude 24, 25).

My God and my Savior,
My Surety true,
My Shield of favor,
My prayer is to You.

You came as my Surety
Procuring my good
For time and Eternity
As You said you would.

You answered the prayer
Conveyed in this Psalm
To save from despair,
And grant me Your calm.

To God be the majesty,
Be glory, and power,
Forever our Surety
And Shield each hour.
