Happy they who trust in Jesus! Sweet their portion is, and sure;
When the foe on others seizes He will keep his own secure:
Happy people! Happy people! Happy though despised and poor.
Happy people! Happy people! Happy though despised and poor.
Since His love and mercy found us, We are precious in His sight;
Thousands now may fall around us, Thousands more be put to fight;
But His presence But His presence Keeps us safe by day and night.
But His presence But His presence Keeps us safe by day and night.
Lo! our Savior never slumbers; Ever watchful in His care:
Though we cannot boast of numbers, In His strength secure we are:
Sweet their portion, Sweet their portion, Who the Savior’s kindness share!
Sweet their portion, Sweet their portion, Who the Savior’s kindness share!
As the bird, beneath her feathers, Guards the object of her care,
So the Lord His children gathers, Spreads His wings and hides them there:
Thus protected, Thus protected All their foes they boldly dare.
Thus protected, Thus protected All their foes they boldly dare.
