4 On thy own strength we do repose, And thereby are secure And safe from all most dreadful woes, Our dwelling-place is sure,
5 Within the Clefts of the blessed Rock From whence sweet Waters flow, And therefore will not fear that shock That Babel will o'erthrow.

6 Thou hast saved us from wrath to come At the most dismal day, And wilt save us from bloody Rome, Who would us all betray.
