Words: , Songs of Zi­on, Be­ing Im­i­ta­tions of Psalms, 1822.

Music: Aurelia, , in a Se­lect­ion of Psalms and Hymns, by C. Kem­ble, 1864.


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?

Place on the Lord reliance; my soul, with courage, wait.
His truth will be my Sustenance, when faint and desolate.
His might my heart shall strengthen, His love my joy increase.
Mercy my days shall lengthen; the Lord will give me peace.
