Because Thy Trust Is God Alone

Verse 1

Because thy trust is God alone, Thy refuge is the Highest One, No evil shall upon thee come, Nor plague approach thy guarded home.

Verse 2

Angelic guards at His commands Will bear thee safely in their hands, Will keep thee, lest, if left alone, Thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Verse 3

Though fierce and treacherous foes assail, Their power and wrath shall not prevail; Their cruel strength, their venomed spite, Thou shalt o'ercome with conquering might.

Verse 4

Because on Me he set his love, I will his constant Savior prove, And since to him My Name in known, I will exalt him as My own.

Verse 5

As oft as he shall call on Me, Most gracious shall My answer be; I will be with him in distress, And in his trouble I will bless.

Verse 6

Complete deliverance I will give, And honor him while he shall live; Abundant life I will bestow, To him My full salvation show.
