1 Jehovah from His throne on high
Looks down with clear and searching eye
On all that dwell below;
And he that fashioned heart and mind
Looks ever down on all mankind,
The works of men to know.

2 Not human strength or mighty hosts,
Not charging steeds or war-like boasts
Can save from overthrow;
But God will save from death and shame
All those who fear and trust His Name,
And they no want shall know.

3 Our hope is on Jehovah stayed,
In Him our hearts are joyful made,
Our help and shield is He;
Our trust is in His holy Name,
Thy mercy, Lord, in faith we claim,
As we have hoped in Thee.
