Jesus Christ, it is He, As Lord of Hosts adored, Our only King and Lord, He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpower us. For this world's prince may still Scowl fiercely as he will, We need not be alarmed, For he is now disarmed; One little word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain, With His good gifts and Spirit. Take they, then, what they will, Life, goods, yea, all; and still, E'en when their worst is done, They yet have nothing won, The kingdom ours remaineth. Amen.

Yea, to my latest moment, I'll call upon Thee, Lord. 2 What comfort in affliction To rest upon Thy grace, And in Thy wise direction My fainting heart to place! When Thou, O Lord, didst teach me In Thine own Name to pray, Unto my hope Thou gavest A refuge and a stay. 3 The yearnings of my bosom Thou hearest, Lord, I know; What to my weal pertaineth I know Thou wilt bestow. In times of deepest anguish Thy helping hand is near, And on Thy loving bosom My sorrows Thou wilt bear. 4 And to this blest assurance I'll cling for evermore; And never shall I weary A Father to implore. Depart, despair and anguish That oft my soul oppress; I'll cling unto my Saviour Till He my soul shall bless. Amen.

Worn with earth's unrest, how sweet In Thy temple fair to meet! There to sing away each sorrow That from life and toil we borrow! 2 With the righteous oft it fareth Here as if his deeds were ill; Blight fair virtue's flow'rs impaireth, Weeds of vice do flourish still; Joy and fortune haste away, Friends with friends--how short their stay! Rachel still her children mourneth, And her soul from comfort turneth. 3 But when here devoutly soareth High the temple-anthem sweet, Grief grows calm, no plaint outpoureth, Hearts with holy rapture beat: Free from earthly clouds, the soul Presses toward a higher goal, Takes from hope the comfort given, Speaks e'en now the tongue of heaven. 4 O my soul, on wings ascending, Thou on Salem's mount shalt rest; There where cherub-harps are blending With the singing of the blest; Let thy note of praise and prayer To thy God precede thee there, While e'en yet a careworn mortal, Still without Thy Father's portal. 5 Christians, while on earth abiding, Let us ever praise and pray, Firmly in our God confiding, As our fathers in their day; Be the children's voices raised To the God their fathers praised. Let Thy bounty, failing never, Be on us and all forever. 6 Bless us, Father, and protect us, Be our souls' sure hiding-place, Let Thy wisdom still direct us, Light our darkness with Thy grace! Let Thy countenance on us shine, Fill us all with peace divine. Praise the Father, Son, and Spirit, Praise Him all that life inherit. Amen.
