Vain vs. Valiant

"Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for He it is that shall tread down our enemies" (Psalm 60:11,12). "Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that should come upon Him, went forth .... that the saying might be fulfilled, O them which Thou gavest Me have I lost none" (John 18:4,9).

How vain is the help of man,
No matter how clever his plan!
But Jesus who led,
Who stood in our stead,
Will valiantly make us to stand.

How valiant is Jesus our Lord,
Who, knowing all things He moved toward,
His cruel persecution,
His cross, execution,
Went forth to redeem our reward!
