Preserve thy faithful Servant, Lord,
Who art the refuge of the just;
To me thy sheltering aid afford,
For in thine arm alone I trust.
The saints, who dwell the earth around,
I view with pleasure and delight:
But they who other gods have found,
I cast with horror from my sight.
I will not mingle with the throng
Whose guilt their sorrow multiplies;
I will not name them with my tongue,
Nor join their bloody sacri?ce.
God is my portion here below:
'Tis he who shall my lot maintain;
His bounty makes my cup o'er?ow,
And frees my anxious soul from pain.
Thou shalt unto my longing eyes
The path of endless life display;
Where, in thy presence, joys arise
Which neither languish nor decay.
