In Thee, Lord, Have I Put My Trust

In Thee, Lord, have I put my trust; Leave me not helpless in the dust, Let me not be confounded. Let in Thy Word My faith, O Lord, Be always firmly grounded. 2. Bow down Thy gracious ear to me And hear my cries and prayers to Thee, Haste Thee for my protection; For woes and fear Surround me here. Help me in mine affliction. 3. My God and Shield, now let Thy power Be unto me a mighty tower Whence bravely I defend me Against the foes That round me close. O Lord, assistance lend me.

4. Thou art my Strength, my Shield, my Rock, My Fortress that withstands each shock, My Help, my Life, my Treasure. Whate'er the rod, Thou art my God; Naught can resist Thy pleasure. 5. The world for me has falsely set Full many a secret snare and net To tempt me and to harm me. Lord, make them fail, Do Thou prevail, Let their disguise not charm me. 6. With Thee, Lord, have I cast my lot; O faithful God, forsake me not, To Thee my soul commending. Lord, be my Stay, Lead Thou the way Now and when life is ending.

7. All honor, praise, and majesty To Father, Son, and Spirit be, Our God forever glorious, In whose rich grace We'll run our race Till we depart victorious.
