He no equal has, nor consort,
He, the singular and lone,
Has no end and no beginning;
His the sceptre, might, and throne.
He’s my God and living Saviour,
rock to whom in need I run;
He’s my banner and my refuge,
fount of weal when call’d upon;
In His hand I place my spirit,
at nightfall and at rise of sun,
And therewith my body also;
God’s my God—I fear no one.
