P16d. Save me, O Lord, from every Foe

1 Save me, O Lord, from every Foe,
In Thee my Trust I place;
Though all the Good that I can do
Can ne'er deserve thy Grace.

2 Yet if my GOD prolong my Breath,
The Saints may profit by't;
The Saints the Glory of the Earth,
The Men of my Delight.

3 Let Heathens to their Idols haste,
And worship Wood or Stone;
But my delightful Lot is cast
Where the true GOD is known.

4 His Hand provides my constant Food,
He fills my daily Cup;
Much am I pleas'd with present Good,
But more rejoice in Hope.

5 GOD is my Portion and my Joy;
His Counsels are my Light:
He gives me sweet Advice by Day,
And gentle Hints by Night.

6 My Soul would all her Thoughts approve
To his all-seeing Eye;
Not death nor Hell my Hope shall move,
While such a Friend is nigh.
