Verse 1
Unless the Most High
For Israel had stood,
(Our Israel may cry
Triumphantly loud)
Our foes on our nation
Their fury had pour’d,
And wide desolation
Our country devour’d.

Verse 2
But prais’d be the Lord,
Our refuge and hope,
A prey to the sword
He gave us not up:
Their plots he hath blasted,
Their armaments foil’d,
The ravagers wasted,
The pillagers spoil’d.

Verse 3
Give glory to God,
Who sits on the throne,
And scatters the proud,
And rescues his own!
Our best adoration
To him we will give,
And all his salvation
With rapture receive.

Verse 4
Our safety on him
Alone doth depend;
Who now doth redeem
Shall save to the end:
Almighty Creator,
We rest in thy name,
We trust in thy nature,
Forever the same.

Verse 5
Thy name we adore,
Thine attributes praise,
Truth, wisdom, and power,
And justice, and grace!
To ransom and bless us,
Thou cam’st from above;
Thy name it is Jesus,
Thy nature is LOVE.

Verse 6
This token for good
We thankfully take,
Our safety bestow’d,
For Jesus’s sake;
Our lives as a favour
From God we receive,
And trust with our Saviour
Forever to live.
