J EHOVAH hear thee in the day
Of thine adversity;
The God of Jacob be thy stay,
His name thy strong-hold be: —

Help from his sanctuary send,
Strength from his holy hill;
Accept thy vows, thy prayers attend,
Thy heart's desires fulfil.

In thy deliverance we rejoice,
And in Jehovah's name
Lift up our banners and our voice,
His triumphs to proclaim.

Now know we that the Lord will hear
His own Anointed One,
And rescue him from every fear;
— So let his will be done.

While some in chariots put their trust,
On horses some rely,
Those shall be broken, these like dust
Before the whirlwind fly.

But we remember God alone,
And hope in Him, whose hand
Will raise us up though overthrown,
Though fall'n will make us stand.

God save the King, — the people save!
Lord! hear a nation's cries:
From death redeem us, and the grave,
To life beyond the skies.
