366. Who puts his trust In God most just

1 WHO puts his trust In God most just
Hath built his house securely;
He who relies On Jesus Christ
Heaven shall be his most surely.
Then fixed on Thee My trust shall be,
For Thy truth cannot alter;
While mine Thou art Not death's worst smart
Shall make my courage falter.

2 Though fiercest foes My course oppose,
A dauntless front I'll show them:
My champion Thou, Lord Christ art now,
Who soon shalt overthrow them;
And if but Thee I have in me
With Thy good gifts and Spirit,
Nor death nor hell, I know full well,
Shall hurt me, through Thy merit.

3 I rest me here Without a fear;
By Thee shall all be given
That I can need, O Friend indeed;
For this life or for heaven.
O make me true, My heart renew,
My soul and flesh deliver!
Lord, hear my prayer, And in Thy care
Keep me in peace forever.
