Hymnal: The Psalter #352 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Had not the Lord been Israel's help Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord been Israel's help
When angry foes assailed,
Had not the lord been on our side,
Our righteous cause had failed.
2 Without His help the waters proud
Had overwhelmed our soul,
But, praised be God, the waves or wrath
Are under His control.
3 We are escaped, as from the snare
A bird in safety flies;
The snare is broken and our souls
In liberty arise.
4 Our help is in the glorious Name,
The Name of matchless worth,
Of Him to Whom all pow'r belongs,
The Lord of heav'n and earth. Topics: Afflictions Many and Severe; Afflictions Refuge in; Church Afflicted; Church Security of; Church Triumph of; Nature Sinners Typified in; Preservation; Safety Enjoyed; Thanksgiving For God's Mercies Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English Tune Title: BOYNTON
