How Are Thy Servants Blest, O Lord

1.  How are thy servants blest, O Lord!
How sure is their defense!
Eternal wisdom is their guide,
Their help omnipotence.

2.  From all our griefs and fears, O Lord,
Thy mercy sets us free;
While in the confidence of prayer,
Our hearts take hold on thee. 

3.  In midst of dangers, fears, and death,
Thy goodness we adore;
We praise thee for thy mercies past
and humbly hope for more. 

4.  Our life, while thou preservest life,
A sacrifice shall be;
And death, when death shall be our lot,
Shall join our souls to thee.
