Through all her palaces! 3 When kings against her joined, And saw the Lord was there, In wild confusion of the mind, They fled with hasty fear, They fled with hasty fear. 4 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen, How well our God secures the fold Where His own sheep have been, Where His own sheep have been. 5 In every new distress We'll to His house repair; We'll call to mind His wondrous grace, And seek deliverance there, And seek deliverance there. Amen. Used With Tune: LUTHER
