Couplet 1

Dear refuge of my weary soul
On Thee when sorrows rise
On Thee when waves of trouble roll
My fainting hope relies

Refrain 1

To Thee I tell each rising grief
For Thou alone canst heal
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel

Couplet 2

But oh when gloomy doubts prevail
I fear to call Thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail
And all my hopes decline

Refrain 2

Yet gracious God
Where shall I flee
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul
Would cleave to Thee
Though prostrate in the dust

Couplet 3

Hast thou not bid me seek Thy face
And shall I seek in vain
And can the ear of sov’reign grace
Be deaf when I complain

Refrain 3

No still the ear
Of sov’reign grace
Attends the mourner’s prayer
O may I ever find access
To breathe my sorrows there

Couplet 4

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will
And wait beneath Thy feet
