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 rais'd my cry,
He heard me from His holy hill;
At His command the waves roll'd by;
He beckon'd--and the winds were still.
I laid me down to sleep--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
'Compass my steps in all their wrath;
Salvation to the Lord belongs:
His presence guards His people's path.
