Book of Psalms
PSALM LXI.
George Burgess
Hear, Lord, a sinking bosom's cry
From earth's most lonely land;
And lead me to the rock on high
Where I may fearless stand.
Oh, hear, for thou hast been my tow'r;
To thee my spirit springs;
To dwell within thy sacred bow'r,
To hide beneath thy wings.
My vows, O God, have found thine ear,
And thou hast ne'er forgot:
Mid them that keep thy holy fear,
Thou giv'st me all my lot.
With days on days thy love supreme
The king's long bliss shall swell:
While age by age rolls on its stream,
He still with God shall dwell.
Oh, send from heav'n thy truth and love,
To guard his perill'd way:
So I will lift thy praise above,
And daily off'rings pay.
