140. Safety in God

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

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!

3 Within thy presence, Lord,
For ever I’d abide;
Thou art the Tower of my defence,
The Refuge where I hide.

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