Jehovah Is Our Strength

lyricist: Attributed to Samuel Barnard (?–1807)
Composer: Parish Choir, 1851

Jehovah is our strength

And He shall be our song

We shall o’ercome at length

Although our foes be strong.

In vain does Satan then oppose

For God is stronger than His foes.

The Lord our portion is

What can we wish for more?

As long as we are His

We nev­er can be poor:

In vain do earth and hell oppose

For God is stronger than His foes.

The Lord our refuge is

And ever will remain;

Since He has made us His

He will our cause maintain.

In vain our enemies oppose

For God is stronger than His foes.

The Lord our shepherd is;

He knows our every need

And since we now are His

His care our souls will feed.

In vain do sin and death oppose

For God is stronger than His foes.

Our God our Fa­ther is;

Our names are on His heart;

We ever will be His

He ne’er from us will part.

In vain the mightiest powers oppose

For God is stronger than His foes.
