| 1. No change of times shall ever shock
my firm affection, Lord, to thee;
For thou hast always been my rock,
a fortress and defense to me.
2. Thou my deliv'rer art, my:God,
my trust is in thy mighty pow'r:
Thou art my shield from foes abroad,
at home my safeguard and my tow'r.
3. To thee will I address my pray'r,
(to whom all praise we justly owe;)
So shall I, by thy watchful care,
be guarded from my treach'rous foe.
4. By floods of wicked men distressed,
with deadly sorrows compassed round;
With dire infernal pangs oppressed,
in death's unwieldy fetters bound.
5. To heav'n I made my mournful pray'r,
to God addressed my humble moan;
Who graciously inclined his ear,
and heard me from his lofty throne.
