Christ the solid rock. (Cristo, a rocha segura.)

I waited patiently for the Lord; (Esperei com paciência que Deus me socorresse;)
he turned to me and heard my cry. (então ele me ouviu e atendeu ao meu apelo.)
He lifted me out of the slimy pit, (Tirou-me dum poço de desespero,)
out of the mud and mire; (dum charco de lodo,)
he set my feet on a rock (e pôs-me os pés sobre uma rocha,)
and gave me a firm place to stand. (fez-me andar num caminho seguro.)
…

…
He put a new song in my mouth, (Deu-me, para cantar, um novo cântico)
a hymn of praise to our God. (de louvor ao nosso Deus.)
Psalm 40 (Salmo 40)

Só em Cristo – In Christ alone

my hope is found – se encontra a minha esperança.

He is my light, my strength, my song;

this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,

firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

…

…

 No power of hell, no scheme of man,

Can ever pluck me from His hand;

Till He returns or calls me home,

 Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
