977. [Jesus, the man's defender be]

It is He who delivereth from the sword. —cxliv. 10.

Jesus, the man's defender be
For whom I humbly pray,
Cover the head so dear to me
In battle's dangerous day;
When thousands fall on either hand,
Deliver from the sword,
And strengthen him by faith to stand
The soldier of the Lord.
