Lyics

In time of fear,

When trouble's near,

I look to thine abode;

Though helpers fail,

And foes prevail,

I'll put my trust in God.



And what is life

But toil and strife?

What terror has the grave?

Thine arm of power,

In peril's hour,

The trembling soul will save.



In darkest skies,

Though storms arise,

I will not be dismayed:

O God of light,

And boundless might,

My soul on thee is stayed!
