Tune: Hereford
('O thou who camest from above')
Parts of Psalms 61,62,63
*********
Hear my prayer, O God, attend me
From ends of earth I do call, see
To you, when overwhelmed my heart
Be, for you my rock, my best part
For you have been shelter for me
Strong tower from the enemy
I will abide in your tent e'er
Under your wings cover trust there
My soul, wait upon God only
My rock, salvation, sure He be
My hope, my defence, so I shall
Not be moved, shaken, but fare well
Trust in Him at all times, and do
Pour out your hears before Him too
You people, for He a refuge be
For us, we shall dwell securely
O God, you are my God, and I
Will seek you early, know you nigh
My soul thirsts for you, and flesh longs
As in dry land, praise still and songs
To see your power and glory
As I have seen in sanctuary
This my desire, you loving-kind
From my lips worthy worship find
