Lyics

Great Source of boundless power and grace!

Attend my mournful cry;

In hours of dark and deep distress,

To thee alone I fly.



Thou art my Strength, my Life, my Stay:

Assist my feeble trust;

O, drive my gloomy fears away,

And raise me from the dust!



Fain would I call thy grace to mind,

And trust thy glorious name:

Jehovah, powerful, wise, and kind,

Forever is the same.



Thy presence, Lord, can cheer my heart,

When earthly comforts die;

Thy voice can bid my pains depart,

And raise my pleasures high.



Here let me rest -- on thee depend,

My God, my Hope, my All;

Be thou my everlasting Friend,

And I shall never fall.
