413. God Is My Strong Salvation

1 God is my strong salvation;
What foe have I to fear?
In darkness and temptation
My Light, my Help is near.
Tho' hosts encamp around me,
Firm to the fight I stand;
What terror can confound me,
With God at my right hand?

2 Place on the Lord reliance;
My soul, with courage wait;
His truth be thine affiance,
When faint and desolate.
His might your heart shall strengthen,
His love your joy increase;
Mercy your days shall lengthen;
The Lord will give thee peace.

Amen.
