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.
