Behold Me Unprotected Stand { Behold Me Unprotected Stand ILLINOIS-Composer Unknown Behold Me Unprotected Stand } Behold me unprotected stand, No friendly guardian at my hand; No place of flight, no refuge near, And none to whom my soul is dear. But, Lord, to thee I pour my vow, My hope, my place of refuge thou: And whilst the light of life I see, I still my portion find in thee. Come loose my prison-bands, set free My soul, that I may sing to thee: Then shall the righteous round me press, And join thy bounteous love to bless.
