Safety in God

Verse 1

When overwhelmed with grief, My heart within me dies; Helpless, and far from all relief, To heaven I lift mine eyes.

Verse 2

O, lead me to the Rock, That's high above my head; And make the covert of thy wings My shelter and my shade.

Verse 3

Within thy presence, Lord, Forever I'll abide; Thou art the tower of my defense, The refuge where I hide.

Verse 4

Thou givest me the lot Of those that fear thy name; If endless life be their reward, I shall possess the same.
