About this Hymn
Whether we look at sin as disease or as guilt, or as both together, we find that in regard to it we must deal with God alone. The medicine, the skill, the pardon, the deliverance are in his hands. The counsel that must be given to the sick soul is, go straight to God; deal with him, and let him deal with you. – Horatius Bonar
Lyrics
Verse 1
Call Jehovah your salvation, rest in the Almighty's shade; in his secret habitation dwell, and never be dismayed. There no tumult shall alarm you, you shall dread no hidden snare: guile nor violence can harm you, in eternal safeguard there.
Verse 2
From the sword at noonday wasting, from the noisome pestilence, in the depth of midnight blasting, God shall be your sure defense: he shall charge his angel legions watch and ward o'er you to keep; though you walk through hostile regions, though in desert wilds you sleep.
Verse 3
Since, with pure and firm affection, you on God have set your love, with the wings of his protection he will shield you from above: you shall call on him in trouble, he will hearken, he will save; here for grief reward you double, crown with life beyond the grave.
