Lord, I have put my trust in Thee, Turn not my confidence to shame; Thy promise is a rock to me, A tower of refuge is Thy name. Thou hast upheld me from the womb; Thou wert my strength and hope in youth; Now, trembling, bending o’er the tomb, I lean upon Thine arm of truth. Cast me not off in mine old age, Forsake me not in my last hour; The foe hath not forgone his rage, The lion ravens to devour. Me, through what troubles hast Thou brought! Me, with what consolations crown’d! Now be Thy last deliverance wrought: My soul in peace with Thee be found!
