Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#316a

316a. For ever blessed be the Lord

1 For ever blessed be the Lord,
My savior 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 heav'nly fight,
And guards me through the war.

3 A friend and helper so divine
Does my weak courage raise;
He makes the glorious vict'ry mine,
And his shall be the praise.
