On God, on God My Soul Relies

Henry Francis Lyte • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 62

Verse 1

On God, on God my soul relies; from Him shall my salvation rise; He is my Rock, my strong defense; what pow'r shall ever hurl me thence!

Verse 2

My foes may rage, my foes may hate: on God, thy God, my spirit, wait! He is thy Rock, thy sure Defense; believe, and none shall hurl thee thence!

Verse 3

Let all that live on God depend, and find Him an Almighty Friend; pour out their hearts before His throne, and rest for all on Him alone.

Verse 4

How poor are all in heav'n and earth, when matched with Him who gave them birth! Friends, yea, and foes alike must own, that might and love are God's alone.
