1. Dear refuge of my...Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul<br /><br />1. Dear refuge of my weary soul,<br />On Thee, when sorrows rise <br />On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,<br />My fainting hope relies <br />To Thee I tell each rising grief,<br />For Thou alone canst heal <br />Thy Word can bring a sweet relief,<br />For every pain I feel<br /><br />2. But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail,<br />I fear to call Thee mine <br />The springs of comfort seem to fail,<br />And all my hopes decline<br />Yet gracious God, where shall I flee?<br />Thou art my only trust <br />And still my soul would cleave to Thee <br />Though prostrate in the dust<br /><br />3. Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face, <br />And shall I seek in vain? <br />And can the ear of sovereign grace, <br />Be deaf when I complain?<br />No still the ear of sovereign grace,<br />Attends the mourner's prayer<br />Oh may I ever find access,<br />To breathe my sorrows there<br /><br />4. Thy mercy seat is open still,<br />Here let my soul retreat <br />With humble hope attend Thy will,<br />And wait beneath Thy feet, <br />Thy mercy seat is open still,<br />Here let my soul retreat<br />With humble hope attend Thy will,<br />And wait beneath Thy feet<br /><br />Justine, this is a hymn I return to often. Something about it comforts me, v2 especially ... I remember wondering if there would ever be a day again where I would not be face down in dust. Praying for sweet mercies from the Lord.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097377381428218168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849291309258328640.post-68422464634593120942011-06-03T11:39:22.622-05:002011-06-03T11:39:22.622-05:00Beautiful.
