PSALM 31:1-5, 15-16
METER: CM (86 86)
SUGGESTED TUNE: ST. ANNE
This is the meter to such hymns as "O God, Our Help in Ages Past."
1. In you, O Lord, I seek refuge,
Let me not be ashamed;
In righteousness deliver me.
Turn to me, save me now!
2. A rock of refuge be to me,
A fortress strong to save.
You're my defense, Lord; for your sake
Lead and direct my ways.
3. Take me out of the hidden trap,
For you are my refuge.
Into your hands I place myself;
You saved me, faithful God.
4. My times are always in your care,
Save me from all my foes.
Look upon me with shining face,
In steadfast love save me.
