"Why art thou cast down, O my Soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God." 42nd Psalm, 5th verse.
Why, Oh! my soul, why droopest thou
Beneath thy earthly load?
Why art thou so disquiet now,
Though heaviest sorrows goad?
Beneath thy earthly load?
Why art thou so disquiet now,
Though heaviest sorrows goad?
Ob! heed them not, for help is nigh,
Thy God is ever near.
Rise, Oh! my soul, look up on high,
And cast away thy fear.
Thy God is ever near.
Rise, Oh! my soul, look up on high,
And cast away thy fear.
Though heaviest billows o'er thee roll,
And threaten death around,
Yet, be thou comforted my soul,
Kind succour can be found.
And threaten death around,
Yet, be thou comforted my soul,
Kind succour can be found.
Though deepest horrors thou can'st see,
And keen affliction's rod
Oppress and wound and torture thee,
Still hope thou in thy God.
And keen affliction's rod
Oppress and wound and torture thee,
Still hope thou in thy God.
