1. O hear my urgent cry, my God, and listen to my plea. From earth’s remotest bounds I call when my heart faints in me. [Sing to the Lord 61]

2. 2. O God, conduct me to the rock that’s higher far than I. For you’re my refuge from the foe, my tow’r of strength on high.

3. 3. O let me dwell within your tent, forever there to live! O for the shelter of your wings, the refuge which they give!

4. 4. For you have heard my vows, O God, and you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name continually.

5. 5. Prolong the days the king will live; his sov’reign rule extend for many generations more, established without end.

6. 6. May he forever sit as king enthroned before God’s face; appoint your love and faithfulness as his protecting grace.

7. 7. Then will I ever bless your name with songs of joy and praise, and will fulfil my holy vows with care throughout my days. Sing to the Lord 61 Used with permission Text: Sing Psalms, © Psalmody Committee, Free Church of Scotland, 2003 Tune: Arthur Cottman, 1872
