PSALM 61. v. 1–6. (S. M.) Safety in God.
I
When overwhelm'd with griefMy heart within me dies,
Helpless and far from all relief
To heaven I lift mine eyes.
II
O lead me to the rockThat's high above my head,
And make the covert of thy wings
My shelter and my shade.
III
Within thy presence, Lord,For ever I'll abide;
Thou art the tower of my defence,
The refuge where I hide.
IV
Thou givest me the lotOf those that fear thy name;
If endless life be their reward,
I shall possess the same.
