21. God, you preserve my heart from fear

God, you preserve my heart from fear,
a shield when I'm afraid;
ten thousand angels must appear,
when you command their aid.

By morning light I'll seek your face,
at noon repeat my cry;
the night shall hear me ask your grace,
nor will I be denied.

I cast my burdens on you, Lord,
for you sustain us all;
my courage rests upon your word;
your faithful will not fall.
