HYMN 15. God a Sun and Shield.
Psal. 84.11. The Lord God is a Sun and a Shield..
1 The Lord he is our Sun and Shield, Our Buckler and Safeguard; And hence we stand, and will not yield, Though Enemies press hard.
1 THe Lord he is our Sun and Shield, Our Buckler and Safeguard; And hence we stand, and will not yield, Though Enemies press hard.
2 Like as a Shield the blow keeps off The Enemy lays on; So thou keeps off all hurt from us, And saves us every one.
3 Let Foes strike at us as they please, On the head, or the heart; This precious Shield which we do use, Secureth every part.
