Jehovah from His throne on high
Looks down with clear and search­ing eye
On all that dwell below;
And He that fa­shioned heart and mind
Looks ev­er down on all man­kind,
The works of men to know.

Not hu­man strength nor migh­ty hosts,
Not charg­ing steeds or war­like boasts
Can save from ov­er­throw;
But God will save from death and shame
All those who fear and trust His name,
And they no want shall know.

Our hope is on Je­ho­vah stayed,
In Him our hearts are joy­ful made,
Our help and shield is He;
Our trust is in His ho­ly name,
Thy mer­cy, Lord, in faith we claim,
As we have hoped in Thee.
