Who puts his trust in God most just

Hath built his house securely;

He who relies on Jesus Christ,

Shall reach His heav'n most surely;

Then fix'd on Thee my trust shall be,

For Thy truth cannot alter;

While mine Thou art,

Not death's worst smart

Shal make my courage falter.

Though fiercest foes my course oppose,

A dauntless front I'll show them;

My champion Thou, Lord Christ, art now,

Who soon shalt overthrow them!

And if but Thee I have in me

With Thy good gifts and Spirit,

Nor death nor hell, I know full well,

Shall hurt me, through Thy merit.

I rest me here without a fear,

By Thee shall all be given

That I can need, O Friend indeed,

For this life or for heaven.

O make me true, my heart renew,

My soul and flesh deliver!

Lord, hear my prayer, and in Thy care

Keep me in peace for ever.
