hear my humble cry;
when my heart is fainting,
to your throne I fly.
2 In earth's farthest corner
you will hear my voice:
set me on your rock, Lord,
then I shall rejoice.
3 You have been my shelter
when the foe was near,
as a tower of refuge
shielding me from fear.
4 I will rest for ever
in your care and love,
guarded and protected
as by wings above.
5 All that I have promised,
help me to fulfil;
and in all who love you
work your perfect will.
6 May your truth and mercy
keep me all my days;
let my words and actions
be my songs of praise! Topics: God's Church Penitence and Prayer; Christ the Friend of Sinners; Lent 1, The King and the Kingdom Temptation; Lent 2, The King and the Kingdom Conflict Scripture: Psalm 61 Languages: English Tune Title: LISTENING
