Worship, and thanks, and blessing,
 
And strength ascribe to Jesus!
 
The Lord alone defends His own,
 
When earth or hell oppresses.
 
Omnipotent Redeemer!
 
Our ransomed souls adore Thee;
 
Our Savior Thou, we own it now,
 
And give to Thee the glory.
“Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” (Revelation 5:12-13)
“For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.” (Psalm 89:18)
“As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.” (Isaiah 47:4)
2
Thine arm hath safely brought us
 
A way no more expected
 
Than when Thy sheep passed through the deep
 
By crystal walls protected.
 
We sing Thine arm unshortened,
 
Brought through each sore temptation;
 
With heart and voice, in Thee rejoice,
 
Thou God of our salvation.
3
Thy glory is our rear-ward,
 
Thy hand our lives doth cover;
 
And we, e’en we, have passed the sea,
 
And marched triumphant over:
 
We own Thy great deliverance,
 
And triumph in Thy favor;
 
And for the love which now we prove,
 
Shall praise Thy name forever.

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” (Colossians 1:13)
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.” (2 Corinthians 2:14)
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” (Malachi 3:10)
