Where he reveals his heavenly word, And calls their tribes his own. 2 His eye, with infinite survey, Does the whole world behold; He form'd us all of equal clay, And knows our feeble mould. 3 Kings are not rescued by the force Of armies from the grave; Nor speed nor courage of an horse Can his bold rider save. 4 Vain is the strength of beasts or men, Nor springs our safety thence; But holy souls from God obtain A strong and sure defence. 5 God is their fear, and God their trust: When plagues or famine spread, His watchful eye secures the just, Among ten thousand dead. 6 Lord, let our hearts in thee rejoice, And bless us from thy throne; For we have made thy word our choice, And trust thy grace alone. Scripture: Psalm 33
