Thou Refuge of my weary soul,

On Thee, when sorrows rise,

On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,

My fainting hope relies.

To Thee I tell each rising grief,

For Thou alone canst heal;

Thy word can bring a sure relief

For every pain I feel.

And still the ear of sov'reign grace

Attends the mourner's pray'r;

O may I ever find access

To breathe my sorrows there!

Thy mercy-seat is open still

There let my soul retreat;

With humble hope attend Thy will,

And wait beneath Thy feet.

Through all the dangers of the night,

Preserv'd, O Lord, by Thee,

Again we hail the cheerful light,

Again we bend the knee.

Preserve us, Lord, throughout the day,

And guide us by Thy arm;

For they are safe and only they,

Whom Thou preserv'st from harm.

Let all our words and all our ways

Declare that we are Thine,
