On God Alone My Soul Relies

On God alone my soul re­lies

And He will soon re­lieve;

The Lord will hear my plaint­ive cries

At morn­ing

noon

and eve.

He has re­deemed my soul in peace

From con­flict set me free;

My ma­ny foes are made to cease

And strive no more with me.

The liv­ing God in right­eous­ness

Will re­com­pense with shame

The men

who hard­ened by suc­cess

Forget to fear His name.

All trea­cher­ous friends who ov­er­reach

And break their plight­ed troth

Who hide their hate with ho­neyed speech

With such the Lord is wroth.

Upon the Lord thy bur­den cast

To Him bring all thy care;

He will sus­tain and hold thee fast

And give thee strength to bear.

God will not let His saints be moved;

Protected

they will shall see

Their foes cut off and sin re­proved;

O God

I trust in Thee.
