God is My Strength

GOD IS MY STRENGTH 

by 

Uriah E. Hallman

God is my strength,

O’er hilltop and mountain,

By streamlet and fountain;

Wherever I wander,

My soul loves to ponder

On Jesus, my hope and my trust.

God is my strength

When battle is waging

And devils are raging;

Though waters rise o’er me,

Though mounts stand before me,

In Jesus, my Lord, I will trust.

God is my strength

In fiery temptation

And sore tribulation;

By faith and assurance

And grace for endurance

My all in His hands I will trust.

God is my strength;

In every affliction

My Lord’s crucifixion

Reminds me that Jesus

Has died to release us

From suff’ring; yes, Him I will trust.

God is my strength

While demons surround me,

And seek to confound me;

His right hand upholds me,

His strong arm enfolds me;

In Jesus I ever will trust.
