Narrator:
Luther Loucks et. al.
Our God is our salvation,
Our refuge in distress,
What earthly tribulation
Can shake our steadfast peace?
The ground of our profession
Is Jesus and His blood:
He gives us the possession
Of everlasting good.
We know no condemnation,
No law that speaks despair:
And Satan's accusation,
With Christ, we need not fear.
For us there is provided
A city fair and new,
To it we shall be guided—
Jerusalem's in view;
Our portion there is lying,
A destined, heavenly lot;
And though we're daily dying,
Our portion withers not.
The heart within us leapeth,
And cannot down be cast,
Since with our God it keepeth
Its never-ending feast.
The sun which, smiling, lights us,
Is Jesus Christ alone:
And what to song incites us,
Is heaven on earth begun.
