LORD, Be Merciful to Me

Henry Francis Lyte • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 56

Verse 1

LORD, be merciful to me, To Your sheltering side I flee; Foes around me fiercely throng, Faith is weak, and fear is strong. Whither shall Your trembler fly? Whither, but to Thee, Most High?

Verse 2

Yes, to Thee my soul shall turn; You will not my pleadings spurn. On Your Word my hopes abide; I before its strength have tried: Trusting, yielding all to Thee, What can shake or injure me?
