495. In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust

1 In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust,
Leave me not helpless in the dust,
Let me not be confounded;
Let in Thy Word
My faith, 0 Lord,
Be always firmly grounded.

2 Bow down Thy gracious ear to me,
And hear my prayers, Lord, speedily,
O grant me Thy protection;
For woes and fear
Surround me here;
Help me in mine affliction.

3 My God and Shield, now let Thy power
Be unto me a mighty tower,
Whence bravely I defend me
Against the foes
That round me close;
0 Lord, assistance lend me!

4 Thy Word hath said, Thou art my rock,
The fortress than can fear no shock,
My help, my life, my treasure;
Howe'er distress
And dangers press,
All must perform Thy pleasure.

5 The world for me has falsely set
Full many a secret snare and net,
Dark lies and sore temptations;
Lord, hear my prayers,
And break these snares
And hellish machinations.

6 With Thee, Lord, would I cast my lot;
My God, my God, forsake me not,
For, Lord, I am commending
My soul to thee;
Deliver me
Now and when life is ending.

7 All honor, praise, and majesty
To Father, Son, and Spirit be,
Our God forever glorious,
In whose rich grace
We'll run our race,
Till we depart victorious.
