469. -- Safety in God.

469. S. M. Watts. Safety in God.

1 When overwhelmed with grief,
My heart within me dies;
Helpless and far from all relief,
To heaven I lift mine eyes.

2 O lead me to the rock
That's high above my head;
And make the covert of thy wings
My shelter and my shade.

3 Within thy presence, Lord,
I ever would abide;
Thou art the tower of my defence,
The refuge where I hide.
