- 1God is my strong salvation;
- What foe have I to fear?
- In darkness and temptation,
- My Light, my Help is near:
- Though hosts encamp around me,
- Firm in the fight I stand;
- What terror can confound me,
- With God at my right hand?
- 2Place 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 day shall lengthen;
- The Lord will give thee peace!
