If God Had Not Been on Our Side - Psalm 124 WÄR’ GOTT NICHT MIT UNS - Treasury 394

1. 2 If God had not been on our side
And had not come to aid us,
3 The foes with all their pow’r and pride
Would surely have dismayed us;
For we, His flock, would have to fear
The threat of man both far and near
Who rise in might against us.
2. 4 Their furious wrath, did God permit,
Would surely have consumed us,
And as a deep and yawning pit,
With life and limb entombed us.
5 Like men o’er whom dark waters roll
Their wrath would have engulfed our soul
And, like a flood o’erwhelmed us.
3. 6 Blest be the Lord, who foiled their threat
That they could not devour us;
7 Our souls, like birds, escaped their net,
They could not overpow’r us.
The snare is broken- we are free!
8 Our help is ever, Lord, in Thee,
Who madest earth and heaven.
