My God, my gracious God, to thee,
Urged by devouring foes, I flee,
To thee for mercy cry;
Oh view me in th� unequal fight,
Oppressed by numbers; awed by might:
Jehovah, God most high!
In times when fears alarm my breast,
Still on thy faithful word I�ll rest,
And there my hopes renew:
Thy word, my God, demands my praise,
In thee I�ll trust thro� all my ways,
Nor fear what flesh can do.
For thou, my God, when shades of death
Hung round my soul, preserv�dst my breath,
Though sinking to the grave:
Shall not thy hand my steps befriend?
Oh lead me, guide me, to the end,
And to thy glory save.
