A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) ‎#P.XXII

P.XXII. To thee, my God and Saviour, I

1 To thee, my God and Savior, I
By day and night address my cry:
Vouchsafe my mournful voice to hear;
To my distress incline thine ear.

2 Thy wrath has hard upon me lain,
Afflicting me with restless pain;
Me all thy mountain waves have prest,
Too weak, alas, to bear the least.

3 Prevailing sorrows bear me down,
Which from my youth with me have grown;
Thy terrors past distract my mind,
And fears of blacker days behind.

4 To thee, O Lord, I cry forlorn;
My pray'r prevents the early morn:
Why hast thou, Lord, my soul forsook,
O Lord, vouchsafe a gracious look!
