Our God is our salvation

339. Our God is our salvation

1 Our God is our salvation,
Our refuge in distress,
What earthly tribulation
Can shake our steadfast peace?

2 The ground of our procession
Is Jesus and His blood:
He gives us the possession
Of everlasting good.

3 We know no condemnation,
No law that speaks despair;
And Satan's accusation,
With Christ, we need not fear.

4 For us there is provided
A city fair and new,
To it we shall be guided--
Jerusalem's in view.

5 Our portion there is lying,
A destined heavenly lot:
And though we're daily dying,
Our portion withers not.

6 The heart within us leapeth,
And cannot down be cast.
Since with our God it keepeth
Its never-ending feast.

7 The Sun which, smiling, lights us
Is Jesus Christ alone;
And what to song incites us
Is heaven on earth begun.
