HYMN 7. God a strong Tower.
1 Thou art, O Lord, a Tower strong, And Refuge for the Poor, And that we might all hide in thee, Hast opened a door.
1 THou art, O Lord, a Tower strong, And Refuge for the Poor, And that we might all hide in thee, Hast opened a door.
2 Christ is the Door that does let us Into this Tower, where We may be safe, and we all know No other Door is there.
3 Our defence is in the Lord, The high and lofty one, And in thee we most safe shall be, Till all the trouble's gone.
4 Thou art our Shield and Hiding place To thee we haste away, Fore-seeing Dangers very nigh, Dare now no longer stay.
