474 Mount Desert

Words: Isaac Watts, 1707

Music: Bruce Randall, 1985

Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

Unshaken as the sacred hill,
And firm as mountains be,
Firm as a rock the soul shall rest,
That leans, Oh Lord, on Thee.

Not walls or hills could guard so well
Old Salem’s happy ground,
As those eternal arms of love
That ev’ry saint surround.
