Lyrics

A sov'reign Protector I have, unseen, yet forever at hand, unchangeably faithful to save, almighty to rule and command. He smiles, and my comforts abound; his grace as the dew shall descend; and walls of salvation surround the soul he delights to defend.

Inspirer and hearer of prayer, thou Shepherd and Guardian of thine, my all to thy covenant care I sleeping and waking resign. If thou art my Shield and my Sun, the night is no darkness to me; and fast as my moments roll on, they bring me but nearer to thee.

Kind Author and ground of my hope, thee, thee, for my God I avow; my glad Ebenezer set up, and own thou hast helped me till now. I muse on the years that are past, wherein my defense thou hast proved; nor wilt thou relinquish at last a sinner so signally loved!
