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.

 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.
