Representative Text

1 I of the Lord my God will say,
He is my refuge and my stay;
To Him for safety I will flee,
In Him my constant trust shall be.

Refrain:
Because thy trust is God alone,
Thy refuge is the Highest One,
No evil shall upon thee come,
Nor plague approach thy guarded home.

2 No nightly terrors shall alarm,
No deadly shaft by day shall harm,
Nor pestilence that walks by night,
Nor plague that wastes in noonday light. [Refrain]

3 Angelic guards at His command
Will bear thee safely in their hands,
Will keep thee, lest, if left alone,
Thou dash thy foot against a stone. [Refrain]
