56a. LORD, Be Merciful to Me

1 LORD, be merciful to me,
To Your sheltering side I flee;
Foes around me fiercely throng,
Faith is weak, and fear is strong.
Whither shall Your trembler fly?
Whither, but to Thee, Most High?

2 Yes, to Thee my soul shall turn;
You will not my pleadings spurn.
On Your Word my hopes abide;
I before its strength have tried:
Trusting, yielding all to Thee,
What can shake or injure me?
