1. O Lord, our Father,
shall we be confounded
Who, though by trials
and woes surrounded,
On Thee alone
for help are still relying,
To Thee are crying?
2. Lord, put to shame
Thy foes who breathe defiance
And vainly make their might
their sole reliance;
In mercy turn to us,
the poor and stricken,
Our hope to quicken.
3. Be Thou our Helper
and our strong Defender;
Speak to our foes and cause
them to surrender.
Yea, long before their plans
have been completed,
They are defeated.
4. ’Tis vain to trust in man;
for Thou, Lord, only
Art the Defense and Comfort
of the lonely.
With Thee to lead,
the battle shall be glorious
And we victorious.
5. Thou art our Hero,
all our foes subduing;
Save Thou Thy little flock
they are pursuing.
We seek Thy help;
for Jesus’ sake be near us.
Great Helper, hear us!
