God 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 to the fight I stand:

What terror can confound me,

With God at my right hand?

Place on the Lord reliance,

My soul, with courage wait;

His truth be thine affiance,

When faint and desolate:

His might thine heart shall strengthen,

His love thy joy increase;

Mercy thy days shall lengthen,

"The Lord will give thee peace."
