God is my strong salvation,
What
foe have I to fear?
In
darkness and temptation,
My
Light, my Help is near:
Though
hosts encamp around me,
Firm
in the fight I stand;
What
terror can confound me,
With
God at my right hand?
2
Place
on the Lord reliance;
My
soul with courage wait;
His
truth be thine affiance,
When
faint and desolate.
His
might thy heart shall strengthen,
His
love thy joy increase;
Mercy
thy days shall lengthen;
The
Lord will give thee peace.
