O God, Regard My Humble Plea

Verse 1

O God, regard my humble plea; I cannot be so far from Thee but Thou wilt hear my cry; when I by trouble am distressed, then lead me on the Rock to rest that higher is than I.

Verse 2

In Thee my soul hath shelter found, and Thou hast been from foes around the tow'r to which I flee. Within Thy house will I abide; my refuge sure, whate'er betide, Thy shelt'ring wings shall be.

Verse 3

For Thou, O God, my vows hast heard, on me the heritage conferred of those that fear Thy Name; a blest anointing Thou dost give, and Thou wilt make me ever live Thy praises to proclaim.

Verse 4

Before Thy face shall I abide; O God, Thy truth and grace provide to guard me in the way; so I will make Thy praises known, and, humbly blending at Thy throne, my vows will daily pay.
