- 1No change of time shall ever shock
- My firm affection, Lord, to Thee;
- For Thou hast always been a Rock,
- A Fortress and Defence to me.
- 2Thou my Deliverer art, my God;
- My trust is in Thy mighty power:
- Thou art my Shield from foes abroad;
- At home, my Safeguard and my Tower.
- 3To Thee I will address my prayer,
- To whom all praise we justly owe;
- So shall I, by Thy watchful care,
- Be guarded safe from every foe.
- 4Let the eternal Lord be praised,
- The Rock on whose defence I rest:
- O'er highest heavens His name be raised,
- Who me with His salvation blest.
