a covenanter's psalm - g.s. fraser lyrics lyrics

now israel may say, and that truly
if that the lord
had not our cause maintained
if that the lord
had not our right sustained
when cruel men
who us desired to slay
rose up in wrath
to make of us their prey;

then certainly they had devoured us all
and swallowed quick
for ought that we could deem;
such was their rage
as we might well esteem
and as fierce floods
before them all things drown
so had they brought
our soul to death quite down

the raging streams
with their proud swelling waves
had then our soul
o’erwhelmed in the deep
but blessed be god
who doth us safely keep
and gave us not
a living prey to be
unto their t++th
and bl++dy cruelty
even as a bird
out of the fowler’s snare
escapes away
so is our soul set free:
rent is their net
and thus escaped we
therefore our help
is in the lord’s great name
who heaven and earth
by his great power did frame
