From the recording Come Away My Beloved (P)2000

Lyrics

If it had not been the LORD
If it had not been the LORD
If it had not been the LORD
Who was on our side
Now may all Israel say (2x)
Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us
As a prey unto their teeth.
Our soul is escaped as a bird
Out of the snare of the fowler
The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Our help is in the name
Our help is in the name
Our help is in the name of the Lord
