Our Refuge in the Lord

Lord, hear the right, attend my cry, And to my prayer give ear, My prayer that riseth unto Thee From heart and lips sincere.

I shunned the ways of sicken men, For I Thy word obey; Upon Thy paths my steps held fast, My feet slipped not away.

Verse 3

On Thee, O God, again I call, For Thou wilt answer me; Incline Thy ear and hear the prayer That I direct to Thee.

Verse 4

Thy wondrous loving-kindness show, Thou Who by Thy right hand Defendest those who trust in Thee From all who them withstand.

Verse 5

Soon I in glorious righteousness Shall see Thee as Thou art; Thy likeness, Lord, when I awake Shall satisfy my heart.
