History & Politics

O Saviour of all Who trust in Thy love
And faithfully call For help from above,
To our supplication In mercy attend,
And send us salvation, And victory send.

To Thee with our heart And spirit we cleave,
Who takest the part Of all that believe:
Our Lord we confess Thee, Whoever oppose,
And joyfully bless Thee In sight of Thy foes.

Pluck'd out of the flame, Thy soldiers we stand;
Fight under Thy name, And love Thy command:
Our Captain and Saviour Thee, Jesus, we hail,
And trust in Thy favour, Which never shall fail.

Whatever Thy will And wisdom ordain,
Our safety is still With Thee to remain:
Our lives are all hidden, Our souls are above,
And rest in the Eden Of ransoming love.

In Thee we have hope, In Thee we have peace,
And calmly go up To final success:
Thy fear is our treasure, Thy service our gain,
And we in Thy pleasure Eternally reign.
