1.God is my strong salvation, What foe have I to fear? In darkness and temptation, My Light, my Help is near: Though hosts encamp around me, Firm in the fight I stand; What terror can confound me, With God at my right hand? 2. Place on the Lord reliance; My soul with courage wait; His truth be thine affiance, When faint and desolate. His might thy heart shall strengthen, His love thy joy increase; Mercy thy days shall lengthen; The Lord will give thee peace.
