Forever Blessèd Be the Lord

Forever bless­èd be the Lord

My Sav­ior and my shield;

He sends His Spir­it with His Word

To arm me for the field.

When sin and hell their force unite

He makes my soul His care

Instructs me to the heav’n­ly fight

And guards me through the war.

A friend and help­er so di­vine

Does my weak cour­age raise;

He makes the glo­ri­ous vic­to­ry mine

And His shall be the praise.
