Hymn
Safety in public Diseases and Dangers
He that hath made his refuge God,
Shall find a most secure abode;
Shall walk all day beneath his shade,
And there at night, shall rest his head.
Then will I say, "My God! thy power
Shall be my fortress and my tower;
I, who am formed of feeble dust,
Make thine almighty arm my trust."
Thrice happy man! thy Maker's care
Shall keep thee from the fowler's snare;--
Satan, the fowler, who betrays
Unguarded souls a thousand ways.
