LyicsForever blessed be the Lord,
My saviour and my shield;
He sends his spirit with his word,
To arm me for the field.
When sin and hell their force unite,
He makes my soul his care,
Instructs me in the heavenly fight,
And guards me through the war.
A friend and helper so divine,
My fainting hope shall raise;
He makes the glorious victory mine,
And his shall be the praise.
