In You Lord I Refuge Take (Psalm 31)

In You, Lord, I refuge take
Let me not be put to shame
Turn Your ear and quickly make
Safety for my trembling frame
You're a rock and fortress strong
I am lost and cannot see
For Your name's sake, lead me on
In Your hands, my soul redeem

My eyes weak with sorrow grow
And my body fills with grief
All my years pass with a groan
My strength fails, my bones are weak
Those who see me turn to flee
My friends' eyes are filled with dread
Like a potter's broken dream
In their gaze, a shade of death

But I trust You are my God
All my days are in Your hands
Let Your face upon me shine
Make me in Your love to stand
Great the steadfast love You've stored
For the poor, who refuge seek
In Your presence, gracious Lord
In Your dwelling they find peace

When I cried in my alarm
I am cut off from Your sight!
Praise the Lord, whose saving arm
was my rescue and my light
Love the Lord, all you His saints!
You, who in Him refuge take
Though in darkness you may wait
All who hope in God are saved!
