Much rather would I keep a door
where God his Grace presents,
Than have my dwelling evermore,
in Sinners furnish'd Tents.
For God the Lord Jehovah is,
a constant Sun and Shield,
He will vouchsafe his Grace to his,
and Glory freely yield.
And no good thing with-hold will he
from them that walk upright,
Lord God of Hosts, so blest they be
that trust upon thy might.
