Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P124a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord been on our side,
may Israel now say;
2 Had not the Lord been on our side,
when men rose us to slay;
3 alive they had us swallowed then
in rage beyond control;
4 the waters had us overwhelmed,
the stream gone o'er our soul.
had sunk beneath the stream.
5 Then had the waters swelling high
over our soul made way.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who to their teeth
us gave not for a prey.
7 Our soul’s escaped, as a bird
out of the fowler’s snare;
the snare asunder broken is,
and we escaped are.
8 Our sure and all-sufficient help
is in Jehovah’s name;
his name who did the heaven create,
and who the earth did frame.
