As long as the sun blazes and burns / Your mercies will never fail / As long as the seed time and harvest endure / Your mercies will never fail And when my soul is downcast within / Your compassions have no end Though the arrows pierce me / Though the darkness rages fiercely / You will be my strength / Though the earth gives way / My portion You will ever be In fear or in faith / I'll say to my soul / Your mercies will never fail / A promise for ages / An anchor that holds / Your mercies will never fail And when my soul is downcast within / Your compassions have no end Though the arrows pierce me / Though the darkness rages fiercely / You will be my strength / Though the earth gives way / My portion You will ever be It's all because of the Lord's great love / All because of the Lord's great love / It's all because of the Lord's great love / We are not consumed It's all because of the Lord's great love / All because of the Lord's great love / It's all because of the Lord's great love / His mercies are ever new Though the arrows pierce me / Though the darkness rages fiercely / You will be my strength / Though the earth gives way / My portion You will ever be / My portion You will ever be
