Ye sons of men, a feeble race,
Exposed to every snare,
Come, make the Lord
your dwelling-place,
And try and trust gracious care.
No ill shall enter where you dwell;
Or if the plague come nigh,
And sweep the wicked down to hell,
'Twill raise his saints on high.
He'll give his angels charge to keep
Your feet in all their ways;
To watch your pillow while you sleep,
And guard your happy days.
Their hands shall bear you,
lest you fall
And dash against the stones:
Are they not servants at his call,
And sent t' attend his sons?
Adders and lions ye shall tread;
The tempter's wiles defeat;
He that hath broke
the serpent's head
Puts him beneath your feet.
"Because on me they set their love,
I'll save them," saith the Lord;
"I'll bear their joyful souls above
Destruction and the sword.
"My grace shall answer
when they call,
In trouble I'll be nigh;
My power shall help them
when they fall,
And raise them when they die.
"Those that on earth
my name have known
I'll honor them in heav'n;
There my salvation shall be shown,
And endless life be giv'n."
Ye sons of men, a feeble race,
Exposed to every snare,
Come, make the Lord
your dwelling-place,
And try and trust gracious care.
---Alternative verses---
Ye sons of men, a feeble race,
Exposed to every snare,
Come, make the Lord
your dwelling-place,
And try and trust his care.
