The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley

Some put their trust in chariots,
And horses some rely on,
But Christ alone
His people own
The help and strength of Zion;
A man of God remembers
In peril and temptation
The Lord of hosts,
And calmly trusts
The God of his salvation.

The confessor of Jesus
Confiding in His favour
Perceives prepared
Another guard
By his almighty Saviour;
Myriads of watchful angels
Invisibly attend him,
The flaming band
At Christ's command
With outspread wings defend him.

These, these are Israel's horsemen,
Whom in the dangerous hour
Our Captain sends,
To save His friends
From every hostile power;
And still Elijah's convoy
Is ready to deliver
Their charge below,
Who Jesus know,
And trust in Him for ever.
