God shall charge his angel legions

Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God shall charge His angel legions Watch and ward o'er thee to keep; Though thou walk through hostile regions, Though in desert wilds thou sleep. 2 On the lion vainly roaring, On the young, thy foot shall tread; And, the dragon's den exploring, Thou shalt bruise the serpent's head. 3 Since, with pure and firm affection, Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of His protection He will shield thee from above. 4 Thou shalt call on Him in trouble, He will hearken, He will save; Here for grief reward thee double, Crown with life beyond the grave.
