Fly Free!

Tune: Webb

('Stand up, stand up for Jesus')

Psalm 124

*********

If the Lord not on our side

If He not with us bide

Now may we say, if He not

On our side, poor our lot

When enemies did arise

Against us, no denies

They would have quickly swallowed

Us up, a dark forbode

Their wrath against us would be

Kindled, and we would, see

Be as by waters o'erwhelmed

Swept away and covered

The stream would go o'er our soul

We would know sorrows toll

Proud waters seek to us drown

Beneath enemy's frown

Blessed be the Lord, who has not

His mercy, grace forgot

Has not given us a prey

Unto our enemy

Our souls is escaped as bird

Out of snare where allured

Were we, but trap is broken

We fly free from it then

Our help is in the name sure

Of the Lord evermore

He who made heaven and earth

We praise, give Him His worth

For He redeems sets us free

No longer bound we be

By sin, but His salvation

Reaches to each nation
