Thee will I love, O God, and own
My strength is in thine arm alone.
Jehovah is my rock, my tower,
My Saviour in the darkest hour ;
My God, my strength, my con?dence,
My buckler, helm, and high defence:
On him I call, and bless his name;
Ne’er shall my hope be put to shame.
With forms of death on every side,
Beset with foes, my courage died;
Hell compassed me with horrors dread,
The snares of death were round me spread:
In my distress to God I prayed,
I called upon my God for aid;
He heard my cry; it reached his throne:
Thee will I love, O God, alone.
