When my way is hedged about me,
hedged with thorns of care;
When the cross I loved so dearly,
seems too hard to bear;
When my heart is bowed with sorrow,
and no light I see—
Lord, Thy tender mercy pleading,
let me lean on Thee.
O, for faith to cast behind me
every sad complaint—
Faith to run and not be weary,
walk and never faint;
Thou dost know and feel my weakness,
Savior look on me;
Now Thy tender mercy pleading,
let me lean on Thee.
Closer let Thine arms enfold me,
closer to Thy breast
Draw my weary, trembling spirit,
calm its doubts to rest;
Give me strength for every burden
Thou hast borne for me;
Lord, Thy tender mercy pleading,
let me lean on Thee.
