253. Assistance and Victory in the spiritual Warfare

1 Forever blessed be the Lord,
My Saviour and my shield;
He sends his spirit with his word,
To arm me for the field.

2 When sin and hell their force unite,
He makes my soul his care,
Instructs me to the heavenly fight,
And guards me through the war.

3 A friend and helper so divine
My fainting hopes shall raise;
He makes the glorious victory mine,
And his shall be the praise.
