O Thou, in Whose Presence

Author: Joseph Swain Appears in 496 hymnals First Line: O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom in affliction I call, My comfort by day and my song in the night, My hope, my salvation, my all. 2 Where dost Thou, dear Shepherd, resort with Thy sheep, To feed them in pastures of love? Say, why in the valley of death should I weep, Or alone in this wilderness rove? 3 O why should I wander, an alien from Thee, Or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed. 4 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for His word; He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice, Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. 5 Dear Shepherd! I hear, and will follow Thy call; I know the sweet sound of Thy voice; Restore and defend me, for Thou art my all, And in Thee I will ever rejoice.
