Processional Hymn E24 : O God, my strength and fortitude

1.    PROCESSIONAL HYMN EMHB 24

1.    O God, my strength and fortitude,

In truth I will love Thee;

Thou art my castle and defence

In my necessity.

2.    When I, beset with pain and grief,

Prayed to my God for grace,

Forthwith my God heard my complaint

Out of His holy place.

3.    The Lord descended from above,

And bowed the heavens high,

And underneath His feet He cast

The darkness of the sky.

4.    On cherub and on cherubim

Full royally He rode:

And on the wings of all the winds

Came flying all abroad.

5.    He brought me forth in open place,

That so I might be free;

And kept me safe, because He had

A favour unto me.

6.    Unspotted are the ways of God,

His word is truly tried:

He is a sure defence to such

As in His ways abide.
