Psalms of Grace ‎#88a

88a. LORD God of My Salvation

1 LORD God of my salvation,
To Thee, to Thee, I cry;
O let my supplication,
Arrest Thine ear on high.
Distresses round me thicken,
My life draws nigh the grave;
Descend, O LORD, to quicken,
Descend my soul to save.

2 Thy wrath lies hard upon me,
Thy billows o'er me roll,
My friends all seem to shun me,
And foes beset my soul.
Where'er on earth I turn me,
No comforter is near.
Will Thou too, Father, spurn me?
Will Thou refuse to hear?

3 No! Banished and heart-broken,
My soul still clings to Thee;
The promise Thou has spoken,
Shall still my refuge be,
So present tills and terrors,
My future joy increase,
And scourge me from my errors,
To duty, hope and peace.
