God of my strength, in thee alone
A refuge from distress I see;
O why hast thou thine aid withdrawn?
Why hast thou, Lord, forsaken me?
O let thy light my footsteps guide,
Thy love and truth my spirit fill;
That in thy house I may reside,
And worship at thy holy hill.
Then will I at thine altar bend;
My harp its softest notes shall raise:
And from my lips to heaven ascend
The song of thankfulness and praise.
Why, then, my soul, art thou cast down
Why art thou anxious and distressed.
Hope thou in God, his mercy own,
For I shall yet enjoy his rest.
