LyicsTHE tempter to my soul hath said,
"There is no help in God for thee;"
Lord, lift thou up thy servant's head;
My glory, shield, and solace be.
Thus to the Lord I raised my cry;
He heard me from his holy hill;
At his command the waves rolled by;
He beckoned-and the winds were still.
I laid me down and slept-I woke-
Thou, Lord, my spirit didst sustain;
Bright from the east the morning broke-
Thy comforts rose on me again.
I will not fear, though armed throngs
Surround my steps in all their wrath;
Salvation to the Lord belongs;
His presence guards his people's path.
