[O Lord, my God, to Thy dear arms I flee]
“I flee unto Thee to hide me.”—Psalm cxliii. 9.
O Lord, my God, to Thy dear arms I flee,
A hiding place for all that need, Thou art;
And there is room, this New Year's Day, for me
Within the tender foldings of Thy heart.
So come I, like a poor belated dove,
Ruffled and torn by beating winds and rain,
To seek a shelter in Thine ark of love,
And find myself at rest and home again.
