Oppressed with anxious fears,
To thee, my God, I fly;
With pity view the falling tear,
And heart the mourner’s sigh.
Should I be self-deceived,
How sad would be my state!
For some at heaven’s door will knock,
And knock, alas, too late.
Jesus the Lord I seek
And shall I seek in vain?
He can supply my every want,
And soften every pain.
He is my help and hope,
My fortress in distress,
My covert from the winds and storms,
My strength and righteousness.
