O LORD, how often should we be
Defeated, were it not for thee;
Cast down, but for thy grace!
When all the arts of Hell oppose,
We find a refuge from our foes
Within the holy place.
2 We dare not boast, O Lord of light,
In human wisdom, or in might,
To keep us pure within.
Do thou assist, we humbly pray,
Lest in our blindness we should stray
Into the toils of sin.
3 Thee will we serve, and thee alone,
No other ruler will we own,
But with a godly fear
Redeem the time at thy command,
Then, with the saints at thy right hand,
Triumphantly appear.
Defeated, were it not for thee;
Cast down, but for thy grace!
When all the arts of Hell oppose,
We find a refuge from our foes
Within the holy place.
2 We dare not boast, O Lord of light,
In human wisdom, or in might,
To keep us pure within.
Do thou assist, we humbly pray,
Lest in our blindness we should stray
Into the toils of sin.
3 Thee will we serve, and thee alone,
No other ruler will we own,
But with a godly fear
Redeem the time at thy command,
Then, with the saints at thy right hand,
Triumphantly appear.
