Explore "That Man no Guard or Weapons Needs" by John Newton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I: That man no guard or weapons needs / Whose heart the blood of Jesus knows; / But safe may pass, if duty leads, / Through burning sands or mountain snows.
II: Released from guilt, he feels no fear; / Redemption is his shield and tower; / He sees his Saviour always near / To help in every trying hour.
III: Though I am weak, and Satan strong, / And often to assault me tries, / When Jesus is my shield and song, / Abash'd the wolf before me flies.
IV: His love possessing, I am blest, / Secure whatever change may come:
Whether I go to east or west, / With him I still shall be at home.
V: If placed beneath the northern pole, / Though winter reigns with rigour there, / His gracious beams would cheer my soul, / And make a spring throughout the year.
VI: Or if the desert's sun-burnt soil / My lonely dwelling e'er should prove, / His presence would support my toil, / Whose smile is life -- whose voice is love.
