Call Jehovah thy salvation, rest beneath th’almighty’s shade
In His secret habitation dwell, and never be dismayed
There no tumult shall alarm thee, thou shalt dread no hidden snare
Guile nor violence can harm thee, in eternal safeguard there

From the sword at noonday wasting, from the noisome pestilence
In the depth of midnight blasting, God shall be thy sure defense
He shall charge His angel legions watch and ward over thee to keep
Though thou walk through hostile regions, though in desert wilds thou sleep

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
