This, the rhythm of my hour, this the only certain power, Jesus Christ forgives my sin, I am trusting all in Him; My heart He promises to rule, saying like a herald true: “Repent, believe, and trust anew.”

This, the rhythm of my day, this the only faithful way: Holding sin I seek my Lord, resting in His faithful Word; My heart He promises to mend, saying as a faithful friend: “Repent, believe, and trust again.”

This, the rhythm of my years, this amid the daily tears, Falling once again to sin, trusting once again in Him; My heart He promises to save, saying on the weary days: “Repent, believe, and trust always.”

This, the rhythm of my soul, this the garden of my hope, Dying I will die to sin, heaven thus to enter in, My heart He promises to cure, saying softly at the door: “Rest, my son, repent no more.”
