BEHOLD me unprotected stand,

Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)

4 Verses Refuge In Christ

Verse 1

BEHOLD me unprotected stand, No friendly guardian at my hand; No place of flight, no refuge near, And none to whom my soul is dear.

Verse 2

But, Lord, to Thee I pour my vow, My hope, my place of refuge Thou: And whilst the light of life I see, I still my portion find in Thee.

Verse 3

Then hear and heed my fervent cry, For low, oppress'd with grief, I lie; Against ray foes Thy arm display, For I am weak, and powerful they.

Verse 4

Come loose my prison-bands, set free My soul, that I may sing to Thee: Then shall the righteous round me press, And join Thy bounteous love to bless.
