In you alone, Dear Lord, we own Sweet hope and consolation, Our shield from foes, our balm for woes, Our great and sure salvation. 2 Though Satan's wrath beset our path And worldly scorn assail us, While you are near, we shall not fear; Your strength will never fail us. Your rod and staff will keep us safe And guide our steps forever; Nor shades of death nor hell beneath, Our lives from you will sever. 3 In all the strife of mortal life Our feet will stand securely; Temptation's hour will lose its pow'r, For you will guard us surely. Our God, renew with heav'nly dew Our body, soul, and spirit Until we stand at your right hand Through Jesus' saving merit.

He is my God; Though dark my road, He holds me that I shall not fall; Wherefore to him I leave it all. 2 Whate’er our God ordains is right; He never will deceive me; He leads me by the proper path; I know he will not leave me, I take, content, What he hath sent; His hand can turn my griefs away, And patiently I wait his day. 3 Whate’er our God ordains is right; Though now this cup, in drinking, May bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it, all unshrinking; Tears pass away With dawn of day; Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. 4 Whate’er our God ordains is right; Here shall my stand be taken; Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet am I not forsaken; My Father’s care Is round me there; He holds me that I shall not fall, And so to Him I leave it all.
