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 thee double, Crown with life beyond the grave. He shall charge His angel legions Watch and ward o’er thee to keep, Though thou walk through hostile regions, Though in desert wilds thou sleep; On the lion vainly roaring, On his young, thy foot shall tread, And, the dragon’s den exploring, Thou shalt bruise the serpent’s head.
