Had Not the God of Truth and Love {Had Not the God of Truth and Love DALSTON-Aaron Williams Had Not the God of Truth and Love } Had not the God of truth and love, When hosts against us rose, Displayed his vengeance from above, And crushed the conquering foes; Their armies like a raging flood, Had swept the guardless land, Destroyed on earth his blest abode, And 'whelmed our feeble band. And now our souls shall bless the Lord, Who broke the deadly snare; Who saved us from the murdering sword, And made our lives his care. Our help is in Jehovah's name, Who formed the heavens above; He that supports their wondrous frame, Can guard his church by love.
