In God We Trust

IN GOD WE TRUST

by HELEN STEINER RICE



O GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST,
OUR HOPE IN YEARS TO BE,
LOOK DOWN UPON THIS PRESENT
AND SEE OUR NEED OF THEE-
FOR IN THIS AGE OF UNREST,
WITH DANGER ALL AROUND,
WE NEED THY HAND TO LEAD US
TO HIGHER, SAFER GROUND,
WE NEED THY HELP AND COUNSEL
TO MAKE US MORE AWARE
THAT OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY
LIE SOLELY IN THY CARE-
AND AS WE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
MAKE OUR WAY AND PURPOSE CLEAR
AND IN OUR HOURS OF DANGER
MAY WE FEEL THY PRESENCE NEAR.





I WILL BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN YOU;
I WILL SING PRAISE TO YOUR NAME,
O MOST HIGH.



PSALM 9:2
NKJV



LET THE RIGHTEOUS REJOICE IN THE LORD
AND TAKE REFUGE IN HIM.
LET ALL THE UPRIGHT IN HEART GLORY.



PSALM 64:10
NRSV



LET ALL THOSE THAT SEEK THEE REJOICE
AND BE GLAD IN THEE: LET SUCH AS
LOVE THY SALVATION SAY CONTINUALLY,
THE LORD BE MAGNIFIED.



PSALM 40:16
KJV



SAVE ME, O GOD, BY YOUR NAME,
AND VINDICATE ME BY YOUR STRENGTH.



PSALM 54:1
NKJV



YES, YOU ARE MY ROCK
AND MY FORTRESS;
HONOR YOUR NAME
BY LEADING ME OUT OF THIS PERIL.



PSALM 31:3
