J. Montgomery, Tr. (345/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

J. Montgomery, Tr. CALL Jehovah thy salvation, Rest beneath th’ Almighty’s shade, In His secret habitation Dwell and never be dismayed: There no tumult shall alarm thee, Thou shalt dread no hidden snare; Guile nor violence can harm thee, In eternal safeguard there. 2 From the sword at noonday wasting, From the noisome pestilence, In the depth of midnight blasting, God shall be thy sure defense: He shall charge His angel legions Watch and ward o’er thee to keep; Though thou walk through lonesome regions, Though in desert wilds thou sleep. 3 Since with pure and firm affection, Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of His protection He will shield thee from above: Thou shalt call on Him in trouble, He will hearken, He will save; Here for grief reward the double, Crown with life beyond the grave.
