Because Thy Trust Is God Alone

Because thy trust is God alone

Thy re­fuge is the High­est One;

No ev­il shall up­on thee come

Nor plague ap­proach thy guard­ed home.

Angelic guards at His com­mands

Will bear thee safe­ly in their hands

Will keep thee

lest

if left alone

Thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Though fierce and trea­cher­ous foes as­sail

Their pow­er and wrath shall not pre­vail;

Their cru­el strength

their ven­omed spite

Thou shalt o’er­come with con­quer­ing might.

Because on Me he set his love

I will his con­stant Sav­ior prove

And since to him My name is known

I will ex­alt him as Mine own.

As oft as he shall call me on Me

Most gra­cious shall My an­swer be;

I will be with him in dis­tress

And in his trou­ble I will bless.

Complete de­li­ver­ance I will give

And hon­or him while he shall live;

Abundant life I will be­stow

To him My full sal­va­tion show.
