Tho' foes against thee stand arrayed,
And ready to destroy thee,
Although thy ruin they prepare,
And fill thee oft with anxious care:
They shall not long annoy thee.
2 Thy cause is God's; this comfort thee,
And His, not thine, the vengeance be:
Let Him perform His pleasure;
The needful help thou shalt obtain,
Thee and His word He will sustain,
Through Christ, His own dear Treasure.
3 As God is God, and true His word,
Fierce Satan and his hellish herd,
The world and all their powers,
Shall reap but shame beneath His rod:
God is with us, and we with God:
The vict'ry must be ours. Used With Tune: ALTENBURG (Geh aus, mein Herz)
Thou little flock, be not afraid
