GOD IS MY STRONG SALVATION
Psalm 27 - James Montgomery, 1822, alt. 1988
Christus, Der Is Mein Leben, Melchoir Vulpius, 1609

God is my strong salvation;
What foe have I to fear?
In peril and temptation
My light, my help is near.

Though hosts encamp around me,
Firm to 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;
God's truth be thine affiance,
When faint and desolate.

God's might thy heart shall strengthen,
God's love thy joy increase;
Mercy thy days shall lengthen;
The Lord will give thee peace.
