Hymns for Times of Trouble, 3
From Hymns for Times of Trouble (1745) · Osborn ed., vol. 4 (1869)
Some put their trust in chariots,
And horses some rely on,
But God alone
Our help we own,
God is the strength of Sion.
His name we will remember
In every sore temptation,
And feel its powers,
For Christ is ours,
With all His great salvation.
We are His ransom'd people,
And He that bought will have us,
Secure from harm,
Whilst Jesus' arm
Is still stretch'd out to save us.
He out of all our troubles
Shall mightily deliver,
And then receive
Us up, to live
And reign with Him for ever.
