Religion
After Sermon (Book III, Hymn 96)
From Olney Hymns, Book III (1779)
Religion
With Israel's God who can compare?
Or who, like Israel, happy are?
To people saved by the LORD,
He is thy shield and great reward.
Upheld by everlasting arms,
Thou art secured from foes and harms!
In vain their plots, and false their boasts!
Our refuge is the Lord of Hosts.
