When storms from thine opposer
Entice our hearts to fear,
O God, thou great disposer
Of blessings, bid us hear
Thy promise of safekeeping
Upon the rock unworn.
The weak and wretched, weeping,
Refresh with strength, as borne
Upon Christ’s sure foundation
Established, as of old.
Let us that holy nation
Be, which thy seers foretold.
