4 A Tower strong is compassed round With a thick mighty wall, For to keep off such Foes who do Pell-mell upon it fall.
4 A Tower strong is compass'd round With a thick mighty wall, For to keep off such Foes who do Pell-mell upon it fall.
5 For Bulwarks God Salvation hath Appointed for the Poor, And he a wall of fire is round About us evermore.
6 Can such who in this Tower are, Be any time afraid, All such who know the strength of it, Can never be dismayed.
6 Can such who in this Tower are, Be any time afraid, All such who know the strength of it, Can never be dismaid.
7 Take up your Lodging then within, Haste quickly, don't delay, Cast off base Habits, leave your Sin, Christ Jesus is the way.
