Who trusts
in God, a
strong
abode
In Heaven
and earth
possesses;
Who looks
in love to
Christ
above,
No fear
his heart
oppresses.
In Thee
alone,
dear Lord,
we own
Sweet hope
and
consolation;
Our shield
from foes,
our balm
for woes,
Our great
and sure
salvation.
Though
Satan�s
wrath
beset our
path,
And
worldly
scorn
assail us;
While Thou
art near
we will
not fear,
Thy
strength
shall
never fail
us.
Thy rod
and staff,
shall keep
us safe,
And guide
our steps
forever;
Nor shades
of death,
nor hell
beneath,
Our souls
from Thee
shall
sever.
In all
the strife
of mortal
life,
Our feet
shall
stand
securely;
Temptation�s
hour shall
lose its
power,
For Thou
shalt
guard us
surely.
O God,
renew,
with
heavenly
dew,
Our body,
soul, and
spirit,
Until we
stand at
Thy right
hand,
Through
Jesus�
saving
merit.
