190. For ever blessed be the Lord

1 For ever blessed be the Lord,
My Saviour and my shield!
He sends his Spirit with his word,
To arm me for the field.

2 When all my foes their force unite,
He makes my soul his care,
Instructs me to the heav'nly fight,
And guards me thro' the war.

3 A friend and helper so divine
My fainting hope shall raise;
He makes the glorious vict'ry mine,
And his shall be the praise.
