Thence all her help my soul derives,

There my almighty Refuge lives.

2 He lives—the everlasting God

That built the world, that spread the flood;

The heavens with all their hosts he made,

And the dark regions of the dead.

3 He guides our feet, he guards our way;

His morning smiles bless all the day;

He spreads the evening vail, and keeps

The silent hours, while Israel sleeps.
