Great God, our strength. to thee we cry
O let us not forgotten lie!
Oppressed with sorrows and with care,
To thy protection we repair.
O let thy light attend our way,
Thy truth afford its steady ray;
To Zion's hill direct our feet,
To worship at thy sacred seat.
Thy praise, O God, shall tune the lyre,
Thy love our joyful song inspire;
To thee our cordial thanks be paid,
Our sure defense, our constant aid.
Why, then, cast down, and why distressed?
And whence the grief that fills our breast?
In God we'll hope; to God we'll raise
Our songs of gratitude and praise.
