A Bulwark Never Failing

Thou goest forth ahead by Thine own plan;

Thou guardest in the rear and in the van

Host upon host attendeth Thy command;

Thou art the burnished shield at my right hand

Thou art the level ground beneath my feet,

and Thou my shade against the noonday heat

Thou e'en the strength that runneth in my veins,

Thy Word, my sword, the victory attains
