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 shall 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 shall 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.
