All Who, with Heart Confiding

All who

with heart con­fid­ing

Depend on God alone

Like Zi­on’s mount abid­ing

Shall ne’er be ov­er­thrown.

Like Zi­on’s ci­ty

bound­ed

By guard­ing mount­ains broad

His peo­ple are sur­round­ed

Forever by their God.

No scep­ter of op­press­ion

Shall hold un­brok­en sway

Lest un­to base trans­gress­ion

The right­eous turn away.

Thy fa­vor be im­part­ed

To god­ly men

O Lord

Bless all that are pure-heart­ed

The good with good re­ward.

The men who false­hood cher­ish

Forsaking truth and right

With wick­ed men shall per­ish;

God will their sin re­quite;

From sin Thy saints de­fend­ing

Their joy

O Lord

in­crease

With mer­cy nev­er end­ing

And ev­er­last­ing peace.
