Eternal God, How Theyre Increased

Eternal God, how they're increased

Who greatly trouble me!

How many are the men that stand

In triumph over me!

Many there be who ever are

Saying unto my soul,

There's no salvation to be had

For him in God at all.

But now about me Thou'rt a shield

O Thou eternal God;

Thou art my Glory, and Thou art

Th'Uplifter of my head.

I laid me down, and took my sleep,

And then I did awake;

Because that the eternal God

Sustained me all along.

Salvation is what does belong

To the eternal God;

On those that are Thy people is

Thy benediction still.
