Arm of the Lord, whose wondrous power
 
The world and all things made,
 
Thou art our Rock, our Shield, our Tower;
 
Our ransom Thou hast paid.

“And forgettest the Lord thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?” (Isaiah 51:13)

Revealer of the Father’s love,
 
His glory and His power;
 
Upholding all things now above,
 
Till the appointed hour — 
“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” (1 John 4:9)
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrews 1:3)
3
That hour when all Thy foes to Thee
 
A footstool shall be given;
 
Thy praise Thy people’s food shall be;
 
Their place with Thee in heaven.
“<<A Psalm of David.>> The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” (Psalm 110:1)
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
