William Knapp - If the Lord himself had not been on our side - текст песни (слова)

If the Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say;
 If the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us;
 They had swallowed us up quick:
 Yea, the waters had drowned us, and the stream had gone over our soul.
 But praised be the Lord: our soul is escaped,
 Even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler:
 The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
 Our help standeth in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
