Uttering high words, which, whether sleep or wake,

In me were fixed, and in me must abide.

When the enemy is near thee,

Call on us!

In our hands we will upbear thee,

He shall neither scathe nor scare thee,

He shall fly thee, and shall fear thee.

Call on us!

Call when all good friends have left thee,

Of all good sights and sounds bereft thee;
