Lyics

WHEN, overwhelm'd with grief,

My heart within me dies,

Helpless, and far from all relief,

To heaven I lift mine eyes.



O, lead me to the Rock

That's high above my head,

And make the covert of thy wings

My shelter and my shade.



Within thy presence, Lord,

For ever I'll abide;

Thou art the tow'r of my defence,

The refuge where I hide.
