Lyrics

1. O Lord of Heaven hear my cry,
For overwhelm'd is my heart.
Lead me to that Rock—high'r than I;
Thou ever my Fortress art.

2. I cry from the ends of the earth,
My soul doth thirst after Thee.
I long to be in Your presence.
I'll ever abide in Thee.

3. I sing praise to You forever
Under Your wings I abide.
Thou hast heard my lowly worship
And You're ever at my side.
