Is God the Lord to be your shield? Then keep Him aye before you, And follow Him to any field. His banner ever o'er you. No shield is He to those who fall Fainthearted far behind Him; But hold Him firmly over all, And to their bosom bind Him. Nor shield is He to those who tread Presumptuously before Him, By proud and idle fancy led All heedless to ignore Him. Bat follow where He leads the way And bind Him closely to you; And God will be your shield for aye. Nor mightiest foe undo you. |
