Is God for me? I fear not[hing], though all against me rise;
I call on Christ my Savior, the host of evil flies.
My friend, the Lord Almighty, and He who loves me, God!
What enemy shall harm me, though coming as a flood?

I know it, I believe it, I say it fearlessly,
That God, the highest, mightiest, for ever loveth me;
At all times, in all places, He stands at my side,
He rules the battle fury, the tempest, and the tide.

Above my soul’s dark waters, His Spirit hovers still,
He guards me from all sorrow, from terror, and from ill;
In me, he works and blesses the life-seed he has sown,
From Him, I learn “Abba,” the prayer of faith alone.
