Hymns to the Living God ‎#311

311. Call Jehovah Thy Salvation

1 Call Jehovah thy salvation,
rest beneath th'Almighty's shade;
in His secret habitation
dwell, and never be dismayed.

2 There no tumult shall alarm thee,
thou shalt dread no hidden snare;
guile nor violence can harm thee
in eternal safeguard there.

3 From the sword at noonday wasting,
from the noisome pestilence,
in the depth of midnight blasting,
God shall be thy sure defense.

4 Fear not thou the deadly quiver,
when a thousand feel the blow;
mercy shall thy soul deliver,
though ten thousand be laid low.

5 Only with thine eyes the anguish
of the wicked thou shalt see,
when by slow disease they languish,
when they perish suddenly.

6 Thee, though winds and waves be swelling,
God, thine hope, shall bear through all;
plague shall not come nigh thy dwelling,
thee no evil shall befall.
