PSALM LXI.

By William Wye Smith

Oh, hear me, Jehovah! attend to my prayer! From ends of the earth unto thee will I cry. When my heart is o'erburdened with sorrow and care, Oh, lead to the Rock that is higher than I!
My shade and my shelter thou ever hast been! My tower of defense, that security brings! Let me dwell in the courts where thy glory is seen, And trust evermore in the shade of thy wings.
O God, thou hast heard and accepted my vow, And giv'st me a portion with those that are thine; Thou wilt lengthen the life of thy servant below, And establish his throne in Immanuel's line.
He ever doth sit before God as a king, And thy mercy and truth shall surround him for aye; For this unto thee endless praise will I sing, And daily my vows to thy name will I pay. —Rev. William Wye Smith.
