Couplet 1

If the Lord
Had not been on our side
If the Lord
Was silent when we cried
If He turned His face
We’d be swept away
But He will not forsake His own

Refrain

He will keep us now
And for ev er more
For His steadfast love
Is for ev er sure
Even if hell may war
We will trust the Lord
He will keep us now
And for ev er more

Couplet 2

Nothing but His blood and righteousness
Nothing else could be our confidence
Other hope may fade
Like a shadow change
But He will not forsake His own

Refrain

He will keep us now
And for ev er more
For His steadfast love
Is for ev er sure
Even if hell may war
We will trust the Lord
He will keep us now
And for ev er more

Pont

The Lord is our Salvation
He is our victory
The Lord is our Salvation
Oh let His people sing

Boucle

He is our victory

Refrain

He will keep us now
And for ev er more
For His steadfast love
Is for ev er sure
Even if hell may war
We will trust the Lord
He will keep us now
And for ev er more

Couplet 3

When we stand before the Throne of grace
Every tribe and tongue and every saint
What we knew by faith
We’ll for ever say
He did not forsake His own
