Tune: Hursley
('Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear')
Psalm 124
******
If it had not been the Lord who
Was on our side, it would be true
That our enemies would have sure
Devoured till we be no more
Their anger against us would show
Water our soul would overflow
Waters of pride, hatred of men
They would have o'ercome, drowned us then
Blessed be the Lord, for He has not
Given us to them, but our lot
Is that our soul it is escaped
As a bird, and we not disgraced
Set free as a bird from the snare
Of the hunters who set traps there
For the snare is broken and we
Are escaped, the Lord our help be

Another hymn of acknowledgement of gratitude to God for his preserving power. Nicely worded but in a different style Orchi

Two beautiful words together in harmony! Hymnody? 🙏🏻🕊
Thank you A. It may be a 'repeat title' from somewhere in my archives.
