NEARER by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: CLOSER IS THE LORD'S PROTECTION
Last Line: HIS PROTECTION KEEPETH ME!
Closer is the Lord's protection
Than a near investing wall;
Closer than a moat around me;
Closer than a tower tall;
Closer than a suit of armor,
Or my hands and feet can be;
For against my own assailing
His protection keepeth me!
