To God My Earnest Voice I Raise

Verse 1

To God my earnest voice I raise, To God my voice imploring prays; Before His face my grief I show And tell my trouble and my woe.

Verse 2

When gloom and sorrow compass me, The path I take is known to Thee, And all the toils that foes do lay To snare Thy servant in his way.

Verse 3

O Lord, my Savior, now to Thee, Without a hope besides, I flee, To Thee, my shelter from the strife, My portion in the land of life.

Verse 4

Be Thou my help when troubles throng, For I am weak and foes are strong; My captive soul from prison bring, And thankful praises I will sing. Amen.
