On God Alone My Soul Relies

Verse 1

On God alone my soul relies, And He will soon relieve; The Lord will hear my plaintive cries At morning, noon, and eve.

Verse 2

He has redeemed my soul in peace, From conflict set me free; My many foes are made to cease, And strive no more with me.

Verse 3

The living God in righteousness Will recompense with shame the men who, hardened by success, Forget to fear His Name.

Verse 4

All treacherous friends who overreach And break their plighted troth, Who hide their hate with honeyed speech, With such the Lord is wroth.

Verse 5

Upon the Lord thy burden cast, To Him bring all thy care; He will sustain and hold thee fast, And give thee strength to bear.

Verse 6

God will not let His saints be moved; Protected, they shall see Their foes cut off and sin reproved; O God, I trust in Thee.
