They who on the Lord rely

Verse 1

They, who on the Lord rely, Safely dwell, though danger’s nigh; Lo, His sheltering wings are spread O’er each faithful servant’s head.

Verse 2

Vain temptation’s wily snare; They shall be the Father’s care; Harmless flies the shaft by day, Or in darkness wings its way.

Verse 3

When they wake, or when they sleep, Angel guards their vigils keep; Death and danger may be near Faith and love can never fear.
