Full Text:
1 O God, give ear unto my cry,
and to my prayer attend;
2 from distant corners of the land
my cry to you I’ll send.
My plea is made with fainting heart
and great perplexity;
lead me in safety to the rock
that higher is than I.
3 For you have long my refuge been,
a shelter by your power;
a tower of strength against my foes
in every evil hour.
4 Within your dwelling, Lord my God,
for ever I’ll abide;
and in the shadow of your wings
with confidence I’ll hide.
5 For you have heard my vows, O God,
and you have given me
the heritage of those who fear
your name of majesty.
6 Prolong the days the king will live;
7 enthroned before God’s face;
appoint your love and faithfulness
as his protecting grace.
8 So I will ever bless your name
with songs of joy and praise,
as I perform my holy vows
with gladness all my days.
– vv. 1-4 Church Hymnary, 4th ed.; vv. 5-8 cento
