347. Safety in Christ

1 Lord, how many are my foes!
Many they that me oppose;
Thou my strong Protector be;
All my safety is in thee.

2 Satan and my wicked heart
Often use their treacherous art;
Fain would make my soul to flee;
But my safety is in thee.

3 Thou hast said and thou art true,
“As I live, ye shall live too;”
Thou my Rock wilt ever be;
All my safety is in thee.

4 I’m a pilgrim here below;
Guide me all the desert through;
Let me, as I journey, see
All my safety is in thee.

5 Then, when landed on that shore,
Where my mind was fixed before,
In sweet raptures I shall see
All my safety was in thee.
