Deny thee? what! deny the way
That leads to heaven’s eternal day?
Deny the Shepherd who will keep
Within the fold his wandering sheep?
Deny thee, Lord! then who will bear
My grief, my burden, and my care?
Thou, thou alone canst calm my breast,
And bid its weary throbbings rest.
In heaven above, on earth below,
Where, save to thee, Lord, could I go?
Where fly for strength, ‘mid mortal strife?
Thou hast the words of endless life.
My Strength, my Guide vouchsafe to be,
I can do nothing without thee;
Save me in every trying; hour,
Thou God of mercy, life, and power!
