Psalms and Hymns to the Living God ‎#62

62. On God, on God My Soul Relies

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!

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!

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.

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.
