This is my hope’s foundation firm,
                                        
                                        Which ever shall endure;
                                        
                                        Yea, at the end of life’s brief term,
                                        
                                        I’ll rest thereon secure,
                                        
                                        And dreaded death shall lose its sting,
                                        
                                        As of my Savior’s wounds I sing;
                                        
                                        His precious blood shall be the key
                                        
                                        That opens Heav’n for me.
