Who Puts His Trust In God

Who puts his trust In God most just Hath built His house securely; He who relies On Jesus Christ, Heaven shall be his most surely: Then fixed on Thee My trust shall be For Thy truth cannot alter; While mine Thou art, Not death’s worst smart Shall make my courage falter.

Thou fiercest foes My course oppose, A dauntless front I’ll show them; My champion Thou, Lord Christ, art now, Who soon shalt overthrow them! And if but Thee I have in me, With Thy good gifts and Spirit, Nor death nor hell, I know full well, Shall hurt me, through Thy merit.

I rest me here Without a fear— By Thee shall all be given That I can need, O Friend indeed, For this life or for heaven. O make me true, My heart renew, My soul and flesh deliver! Lord, hear my prayer, And in Thy care Keep me in peace for ever.
