10024. Forever Blessed Be The Lord

1 Forever blessèd be the Lord,
My Savior and my shield;
He sends His Spirit with His Word,
To arm me for the field.

2 When sin and hell their force unite,
He makes my soul His care,
Instructs me to the heav’nly fight,
And guards me through the war.

3 A friend and helper so divine
Does my weak courage raise;
He makes the glorious victory mine,
And His shall be the praise.
