Lyics

GOD is my strong salvation:
What foe have I to fear?
In darkness and temptation,
My light, my help, is near.
Though host encamp around me,
Firm in the fight I stand:
What terror can confound me,
With God at my right hand?


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.
