If Thou dost in my soul abide,

I ask for nought on earth beside:

Thou art my Fortress, Tower, and Rock,

My strong Defence in every shock.

When soul and body both shall fail,

No terrors shall my mind assail;

For Thou shalt be my Hope and Stay,

My Saviour in that solemn day:

Through Thee I’m victor in the strife,

And find in death the gate of life.
