God, My Glory and My Shield

Verse 1

The tempter to my soul hath said, "There is no help in God for thee;" Lord, lift thou up thy servant's head; My glory, shield, and solace be.

Verse 2

Thus to the Lord I raised my cry; He heard me from his holy hill; At his command the waves rolled by; He beckoned, and the winds were still.

Verse 3

I will not fear, tho' armed throngs Compass my steps in all their wrath; Salvation to the Lord belongs; His presence guards his people's path.
