    A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in long meter)

    Job 17:9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

    "Perseverance"

    1. Hail! ransom'd souls, belov'd of God,
    Redeem'd and cleans'd with precious blood;
    Our Father condescends to say,
    "The righteous shall hold on his way."

    2. We first set out at His command,
    To reach Emanuel's promis'd land;
    Strength is proportion'd to our day,
    "The righteous shall hold on his way."

    3. Complete in Christ, renew'd by grace,
    We run a sacred certain race;
    Though death, and hell, and sin dismay,
    "The righteous shall hold on his way."

    4. The Father's love, and Saviour's death,
    The Spirit's work, as scripture saith,
    This soul-reviving truth display,
    "The righteous shall hold on his way."
