He that has God his guardian made

Verse 1

He that has God his guardian made Shall under the Almighty's shade Secure and undisturb'd abide: Thus to my soul of Him I'll say, He is my fortress and my stay, My God, in Whom I will confide.

Verse 2

His tender love and watchful care Shall free thee from the fowler's snare, And from the noisome pestilence; He over thee His wings shall spread, And cover thy unguarded head; His truth shall be thy strong defence.

Verse 3

Because, with well-placed confidence, Thou mak'st the Lord thy sure defence, thy refuge, even god most high; Therefore no ill on thee shall come, Nor to thy heaven-protected home Shall overwhelming plagues draw nigh.
