Overcoming Overwhelmings

Tune: St Denio

(\'Immortal, invisible, God only wise\')

Psalm 61

********

Hear my cry, O Lord God, attend to my prayer

From end of the earth I cry, know you are there

When my heart is o\'erwhelmed I still to you turn

O lighten the fire there, holy passions burn

 

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I

My spirit takes wings and unto you does fly

For you have been a shelter safe, sure for me

And mighty strong tower from the enemy

 

I will abide in your tabernacle e\'er

I will trust in shelter of your wings, leave ne\'er

For you, O God, my vows have heard from above

Have given me heritage in your firm love

 

You will my life prolong, I with joyful song

Shall praise you, your mercy, your truth all along

For they shall preserve me, shall guard me, and keep

Me, so I shall daily praise you midst your sheep
