CALL Jehovah thy salvation,

Rest beneath the Almighty's shade; In His secret habitation

Dwell, nor ever be dismay'd: There no tumult can alarm thee,

Thou shalt dread no hidden snare;
Guile nor violence can harm thee,

In eternal safeguard there.
From the sword at noon-day wasting,

From the noisome pestilence,
In the depth of midnight blasting,

God shall be thy sure defenco :
Fear not thou the deadly quiver,

When a thousand feel the blow; Mercy shall thy soul deliver,

Though ten thousand be laid low. Since, with pure and firm affection,

Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of His protection

He will shield thee from above : Thou shalt call on Him in trouble,

He will hearken, He will save, Here for grief reward thee double,

Crown with life beyond the grave,

How good and pleasant must it be

N. v.
OW

To thank the Lord most high ;
And with repeated hymns of praise

His Name to magnify!
With every morning's early dawn

His goodness to relate;
And of His constant truth each night

The glad effects repeat !
For through Thy wondrous works, O Lord,

Thou mak'st my heart rejoice;
The thoughts of them shall make me glad,

And sing with cheerful voice.

LUTHER. 1523.

XCIII. . .

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5.) ; N. v.
W ITH glory clad, with strength array'd,

The Lord, that o'er all nature reigns,
The world's foundations strongly laid,

And the vast fabric still sustains.
How surely stablish'd is Thy throne,

Which shall no change or period see !
For Thou, O Lord, and Thou alone,

Art God from all eternity...
The floods, O Lord, lift up their voice,

And toss the troubled waves on high;
But God above can still their noise,

And make the angry sea comply:
Thy promise, Lord, is ever sure,

And they that in Thy house would dwell,
That happy station to 'secure,
Must still in holiness excel.
