Text and metadata are organized from Hymnary’s ELHB index pages and ELHL1918 instance pages.

1 Who puts his trust
In God most just
Hath built his house securely;
He who relies
On Jesus Christ,
Heaven shall be his most surely.
Then fixed on Thee
My trust shall be,
For Thy truth cannot alter;
While mine Thou art
Not death's worst smart
Shall make my courage falter.
2 Though fiercest foes
My course oppose,
A dauntless front I'll show them:
My Champion Thou, Lord Christ, art now,
Who soon shalt overthrow them;
And if but Thee
I have in me
With Thy good gifts and Spirit,
Nor death nor hell,
I know full well,
Shall hurt me, through Thy merit.
