1 Happy we who trust in Jesus,
Sweet our portion is and sure;
When despair or doubt would seize us,
By his grace we shall endure.
Happy people,
Happy, in his love secure!
2 God in love and mercy found us,
We are precious in his sight;
And though Satan’s hosts surround us,
They shall all be put to flight,
For our Father
Keeps us safe by day and night.
3 Lo! our Father never slumbers,
Ever watchful is his care;
We rely not on our numbers,
In his strength secure we are.
Sweet our portion
Who the Father’s kindness share.
4 As the bird beneath her feathers
Guards the objects of her care,
So the Lord his children gathers,
Spreads his wings, and hides us there;
Thus protected,
All our foes we boldly dare.
