O Lord, Our Father

Verse 1

O Lord, our Father, shall we be confounded Who, though by trials and by woes surrounded, On Thee alone for help are still relying, To Thee are crying?

Verse 2

Lord, put to shame Thy foes who breathe defiance And vainly make their might their sole reliance; In mercy turn to us, the poor and stricken, Our hope to quicken.

Verse 3

Be Thou our Helper and our strong Defender; Speak to our foes and cause them to surrender. Yea, long before their plans have been completed, They are defeated.

Verse 4

'Tis vain to trust in man; for Thou, Lord, only Art the Defense and Comfort of the lonely. With Thee to lead, the battle shall be glorious And we victorious.

Verse 5

Thou art our Hero, all our foes subduing; Save Thou Thy little flock they are pursuing. We seek Thy help; for Jesus' sake be near us. Great Helper, hear us!
