510. Jehovah is our strength

1 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,
The Lord is stronger than His foes.

2 The Lord our refuge is,
And ever will remain;
Since He hath made us His,
He will our cause maintain:
In vain our enemies oppose,
For God is stronger than His foes.

3 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.

4 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.

5 Our God our Father is,
Our names are on His heart;
We ever shall be His,
He ne’er from us will part;
In vain the world and flesh oppose,
For God is stronger than His foes.

Amen.
