The Protector.
God bring thee out of harm,
And God be Thy defender!
God show thee that His arm
Is strong and also tender!
And God be Thy defender!
God show thee that His arm
Is strong and also tender!
He sees thine altar fire,
Thy gift, thine offered treasure,
And grants thee thy desire.
Fulfilled beyond thy measure.
Thy gift, thine offered treasure,
And grants thee thy desire.
Fulfilled beyond thy measure.
Rejoice, O friends, in Him
Who breaks the bands of sadness;
Let all your banners swim
Above your mounts of gladness.
Who breaks the bands of sadness;
Let all your banners swim
Above your mounts of gladness.
I know that God alone
Can rescue them that perish;
He bendeth from His throne
To seek, to save, to cherish.
Can rescue them that perish;
He bendeth from His throne
To seek, to save, to cherish.
Trust not in spear and glaive,
Nor courser shod with terror,
For steeds are vain to save,
And battles reel in error.
Nor courser shod with terror,
For steeds are vain to save,
And battles reel in error.
Our savior is the Lord
Who rides upon the thunder;
And when He lifts his sword
The nations fall asunder.
Who rides upon the thunder;
And when He lifts his sword
The nations fall asunder.
