Higher Help


"Thy God helpeth thee" (1 Chronicles 12:18).   "Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.  For Thou hast been a Shelter for me, and a strong Tower from the enemy"  (Psalm 61:2,3).   "He is a Shield unto them that put their trust in Him" (Proverbs 30:5).  "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4). 

There is no helper that is higher
Than God Almighty, our Creator.
Our circumstances may be dire,
But Jesus Christ our Lord is greater. 

He is the Rock whereon we stand.  
He is our Shelter and our Tower.
He is our Shield near at hand
Who guards us with His saving power.

So let us to our Rock ascend,
And to our Tower let us go!
Our risen Lord, our greatest Friend,
Is greater that our strongest foe! 

How safely we may trust in Christ;
How rightly is He daily praised!
To save us He was sacrificed;
To justify us He was raised. 

The Lord of lords, the King of kings,
Descended from His holy throne
To shelter us beneath His wings
That we might trust in Him alone. 

O Lord, our Helper from above,
Your higher help has been displayed! 
We are astonished at Your love
And at the ransom that You paid! 

Lord, send us to the harvest field,
Commissioned with Your declaration,
To show the higher help revealed
In You, the Lord of our salvation.
