The name of Jehovah defend thee! For He from His dwelling above, Shall hear thee in trouble, and send thee The might of His covenant love. His rod of dread powers Shall bind with sweet flowers, In the ark of His covenant love. Then kneel; for the prayer of the lowly As incense, all odour shall be, In the cloud of the holocaust holy, That pleads in His presence for thee. His word, like strong mountains, Still shed forth the fountains Of strength from His presence for thee.
