Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 61 (song 1)
Isaac Watts
When overwhelm'd with grief,
My heart within me dies,
Helpless, and far from all relief,
To heaven I lift mine eyes.
2. Oh 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,
For ever I'll abide;
Thou art the tower of my defence,
The refuge where I hide.
4 Thou givest me the lot
Of those that fear Thy name;
If endless life be their reward,
I shall possess the same.
Isaac Watts, 1719.
