O God My Refuge Hear My Cries

O God, My Refuge! Hear My Cries
}
O God, my refuge! hear my cries,
Behold my flowing tears;
For earth and hell my hurt devise,
And triumph in my fears.
Oh, were I like a feathered dove,
Soon would I stretch my wings,
And fly, and make a long remove
From all these restless things.
God shall preserve my soul from fear,
Or shield me when afraid;
Ten thousand angels must appear
If he commands their air.
I cast my burdens on the Lord,
The Lord sustains them all;
My courage rests upon his word,
That saints shall never fall.
