Now let the feeble all be strong

Verse 1

Now let the feeble all be strong, And make Jehovah's arm their song; His shield is spread o'er every saint; And, thus supported, who shall faint?

Verse 2

What though the hosts of hell engage, With mingled cruelty and rage! A faithful God restrains their hands, And chains them down in iron bands.

Verse 3

Bound by his word, he will display A strength proportioned to our day. And when united trials meet, Will show a path of safe retreat.

Verse 4

Thus far we prove that promise good, Which Jesus ratified with blood: Still is he gracious, wise, and just; And still in him let Israel trust.
