Text and metadata are organized from Hymnary’s ELHB index pages and ELHL1918 instance pages.
1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul,
On Thee, when sorrows rise,
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies.
On Thee, when sorrows rise,
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies.
2 To Thee I tell each rising grief,
For Thou alone canst heal;
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel.
For Thou alone canst heal;
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel.
3 Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face?
And shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain?
And shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain?
