GRH 270 Jesus Is My Strong Defender

(1)
Mankind led astray by evil,
Captive of his lust and pride;
Shunning truth for selfish pleasure,
What assurance can abide?
Jesus is my strong defender,
Trusting Him I’ll never fall;
Christ bestows life, peace, and blessing,
Boundless is His love for all.

(2)
Lose one’s soul to win earth’s treasure,
What is gained when life is spent?
Fame, wealth, power, all soon vanish,
Quickly turn to Christ, repent!
Jesus is my strong defender,
Trusting Him I’ll never fall;
Christ bestows life, peace, and blessing,
Boundless is His love for all.

(3)
Trusting Christ for life eternal,
We alone on Him depend;
Grace abundant, fresh new spirit,
Peace and blessing without end.
Jesus is my strong defender,
Trusting Him I’ll never fall;
Christ bestows life, peace, and blessing,
Boundless is His love for all.
