Refrain:Our help is in the name of the Lord. 1If the Lord himself had not been on our side, • now may Israel say; 2If the Lord had not been on our side, • when enemies rose up against us; 3Then would they have swallowed us alive • when their anger burned against us; 4Then would the waters have overwhelmed us and the torrent gone over our soul; • over our soul would have swept the raging waters. R 5But blessed be the Lord • who has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth. 6Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowler; • the snare is broken and we are delivered. 7Our help is in the name of the Lord, • who has made heaven and earth. Refrain:Our help is in the name of the Lord. O God, maker of heaven and earth, you save us in the water of baptism and by the suffering of your Son you set us free; help us to put our trust in his victory and to know the salvation won for us by Jesus Christ our Lord. |
