O God, Thy Faithfulness I Plead!
My Present Help In Time Of Need,
My Great Deliverer Thou!
Haste To My Aid, Thine Ear Incline,
And Rescue This Poor Soul Of Mine,
I Claim The Promise Now!
Where Is The Way? Ah, Show Me Where,
That I Thy Mercy May Declare,
The Power That Sets Me Free:
How Can I My Destruction Shun?
How Can I From My Nature Run?
Answer, O God, For Me!
One Only Way The Erring Mind
Of Man, Short-Sighted Man, Can Find,
From Inbred Sin To Fly;
Stronger Than Love, I Fondly Thought,
Death, Only Death Can Cut The Knot,
Which Love Cannot Untie.
But Thou, O Lord, Art Full Of Grace;
Thy Love Can Find A Thousand Ways
To Foolish Man Unknown;
My Soul Upon Thy Love I Cast,
I Rest Me, Till The Storm Is Past,
Upon Thy Love Alone.
Thy Faithful, Wise, And Mighty Love
Shall Every Stumbling-Block Remove,
And Make An Open Way;
Thy Love Shall Burst The Shades Of Death,
And Bear Me From The Gulf Beneath,
To Everlasting Day.
