When ov-er-whelmed with grief
My heart with-in me dies,
Help-less and far from all re-lief
To heaven I lift mine eyes.
O lead me to the Rock
That's high a-bove my head,
And make the co-vert of Thy wings
My shel-ter and my shade.
With-in Thy pres-ence, Lord,
For ev-er I'll a-bide;
Thou art the Tower of my de-fence,
The Ref-uge where I hide.
Thou giv-est me the lot
Of those that fear Thy Name:
Since end-less life is their sure hope
I shall pos-sess the same.
