Lyics

DEAR Refuge of my weary soul,

On thee, when sorrows rise,

On thee, when waves of trouble roll,

My fainting hope relies.



To thee I tell each rising grief,

For thou alone canst heal;

Thy word can bring a sweet relief

For ev'ry pain I feel.



But, O when gloomy doubts prevail,

I fear to call thee mine;

The springs of comfort seem to fail,

And all my hopes decline.



Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee?

Thou art my only trust;

And still my soul would cleave to thee,

Though prostrate in the dust.
