Psalms of Grace ‎#7b

7b. LORD, My God, In Thee I Trust

1 LORD, my God, in Thee I trust;
Save, O save Thy trembling dust.
From the roaring lion's pow'r,
Seeking whom he may devour,
From a thousand waves that roll
Shipwreck o'er my sinking soul;
God omnipotent, I flee
From them all to Thee, to Thee.

2 Thou my inmost wish can read,
Thou can help my utmost need;
Let the world Thy goodness see;
Let them mark Thy grace in me.
Lay the wicked in the dust,
Raise the feeble, guide the just:
Searcher of the heart, I flee
From myself to Thee, to Thee.
