| Text: | On God, on God My Soul Relies |

| Tune: | ROCKINGHAM |
| Composer: | Lowell Mason |
1 On God, on God my soul relies;
From Him shall my salvation rise;
He is my Rock, my Strong Defense;
What pow'r shall ever hurl me thence!
2 My foes may rage, my foes may hate:
On God, thy God, my spirit wait!
He is thy Rock, thy Sure Defense;
Believe, and none shall hurl thee thence!
3 Let all that live on God depend,
and find Him an Almighty Friend;
Pour out their hearts before His throne,
and rest for all on Him alone.
4 How poor are all in heav'n and earth,
when matched with Him who gave them birth!
Friends, yea, and foes alike must own,
That might and love are God's alone.
