3 | Psalm 3 | LM | |
THY promise, Lord, is perfect peace, And yet my trials still increase; Till fears, at times, my soul beset That Satan will defeat me yet. |
|||
2 | Then, Saviour, must I fly to Thee, And in Thy strength my refuge see; O hear me from Thy holy hill, And calm, and keep, and help me still. |
||
3 | Beneath Thy care secure I sleep, For what can harm, when Thou dost keep? I’ll wake and know Thee at my side, My omnipresent guard and guide! |
||
4 | For how can earth or hell distress, With God so strong, so near to bless? From Thee alone salvation flows, My only refuge and repose. |
