God Is My Strong Salvation

Lyrics by
James Spicer Irons (1878)
Music by
John Baptiste Dykes (1878)
Tune
SALVATION · 8.7.8.7.D
Scripture
Psalm 27:1-2
Verse 1
God is my strong salvation,
What foe have I to fear?
In darkness and temptation,
My Light, my Help, is near:
Though hosts encamp around me,
Firm in the fight I stand;
What terror can confound me,
With God at my right hand?
Verse 2
Place on the Lord reliance;
My soul with courage wait;
His truth be thine affiance,
When faint and desolate.
His might thy heart shall strengthen,
His love thy joy increase;
Mercy thy days shall lengthen;
The Lord will give thee peace.

An expression of complete trust in God's protective care, written by an English Baptist minister.
