228
Who will to Edom guide my path?
Oh, wilt not Thou, the Lord of all?—
Thou who didst cast us off in wrath,
And left our guilty hosts to fall?
Oh, wilt not Thou, the Lord of all?—
Thou who didst cast us off in wrath,
And left our guilty hosts to fall?
Be Thou our help, for in the day
When sorrow's dark and stormy wave
Sweeps all our fondest hopes away,
Oh! vain the help of man to save!
But through our God we still shall stand,
Nor fear our fiercest foes to meet;
For He shall smite them with His hand,
And tread them down beneath His feet.
When sorrow's dark and stormy wave
Sweeps all our fondest hopes away,
Oh! vain the help of man to save!
But through our God we still shall stand,
Nor fear our fiercest foes to meet;
For He shall smite them with His hand,
And tread them down beneath His feet.
