They who on the Lord rely,
Safely dwell, though danger’s nigh;
Lo, his sheltering wings are spread
O’er each faithful servant’s head.
Vain temptation’s wily snare;
Christians are Jehovah’s care:
Harmless flies the shaft by day,
Or in darkness wings its way.
When they wake, or when they sleep,
Angel guards their vigils keep;
Death and danger may be near,
Faith and love have nought to fear.
---Alternative verses---
Vain temptation’s wily snare;
They shall be the Father's care:
Harmless flies the shaft by day,
Or in darkness wings its way.
