The Lord of hosts is on my side
Hymn 117
1
The Lord of hosts is on my side,
In him—him only, I confide,
Nor shall confide in vain;
Amidst ten thousand foes and snares,
Amidst ten thousand anxious cares,
He can my soul sustain.
2
I will not yield to servile fear,
Though all the fiends of hell draw near,
To fight, and rage, and rave;
My gracious God is also nigh,
And will their hostile rage defy;
He is at hand to save.
3
Let us our hope in God express,
Our hope is in his mighty grace,
And still in him confide;
With dauntless courage let us rise,
Press on, and win the gracious prize,
For God is on our side.
