Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #112b (1787) Hymnal Title: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David First Line: When overwhelm'd with grief Lyrics: 1 When, overwhelm'd with grief,
My heart within me dies,
Helpless and far from all relief
To heaven I lift mine 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’ll 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. Topics: Defense and Salvation in God; God our Defense and Salvation; Trust in the Creatures vain; Defense and Salvation in God; God our Defense and Salvation; Trust in the Creatures vain Scripture: Psalm 61:1-6 Languages: English
