A Sovereign Protector I Have

Congregational singing
Metropolitan Tabernacle, London
Text: Augustus M. Toplady | Tune: TREWEN

A Sovereign Protector I have
Unseen, yet for ever at hand,
Unchangeably faithful to save,
Almighty to rule and command.
He smiles, and my comforts abound;
His grace as the dew shall descend,
And walls of salvation surround
The soul He delights to defend.

Kind Author and ground of my hope,
Thee, Thee for my God I avow;
My glad Ebenezer set up,
And own Thou hast helped me till now.
I muse on the years that are past,
Wherein my defence Thou hast proved;
Nor wilt Thou relinquish at last
A sinner so faithfully loved.

Inspirer and Hearer of prayer,
Thou Shepherd and Guardian of Thine,
My all to Thy covenant care
I sleeping and waking resign.
If Thou art my Shield and my Sun,
The night is no darkness to me;
And, fast as my moments roll on,
They bring me but nearer to Thee.

Sing these words to it:

We're yours, God, eternally One.
Your name's holy, your kingdom's come.
In heaven and earth your will's done
Our needs, you fulfill ev'ry one.
As we re-lease others to live
The sin that we're in, you forgive.
Keep testing at bay, evil end.
Your kingdom shine strongly, Amen!
