The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#141

141. The Lord is Our Portion Forever

1 The Lord is our portion forever,
And strong in his strength we will stand!
He’s able our souls to deliver,
Tho’ mighty the foes on each hand.

Refrain:
The Lord is our portion forever,
And, under his banner secure,
We’ll triumph, for he will not fail us;
His word and his promise are sure.

2 The Lord is our portion forever,
Our strength and our shield in each fight;
And victory, glory and honor,
He gives if we’re true to the right. [Refrain]

3 The Lord is our portion forever,
Our comfort our shield and our song;
Our hope in each conflict and danger,
Our gladness life’s pathway along. [Refrain]
