Text · Psalm 61
Confidence in God
O God, give ear unto my cry
from The Psalter, 1912 · 8.6.8.6
1.O God, give ear unto my cry,
And to my voice attend;
Thought far from home and from Thy house,
To Thee my prayers ascend.
2.When troubles overwhelm my heart, \
Then Thou wilt hear my cry,
For safety lead me to the Rock
That higher is than I.
3.A refuge Thou hast been for me
When storms of trouble low'r;
When foes assail, then Thou hast been
My strong defense and tow'r.
4.Within Thy holy temple, Lord,
I ever will abide;
Beneath the covert of Thy wings
In confidence I hide.
