112b. Safety in God

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.
