Product Description
A beautiful, sacred hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text taken from Psalm 55. This hymn expresses a deeply personal cry for divine help in the face of sorrow, fear, and inner anguish. Each verse builds on the psalmists lament, beginning with an earnest plea for God to hear and not hide, as the weight of enemies, grief, and death presses in. Yet in every stanza, a quiet but powerful refrain rises: I will trust in thee. The second verse turns toward Gods continual presence, portraying a soul crying out day and night for deliverance and peace amid persistent trouble. The final verse offers a shift to hope and resolutionthe worshiper finds solace in Gods sustaining hand, choosing to walk in His covenant with faith and trust. This hymn beautifully echoes the spiritual journey from distress to peace, from pleading to assurance in Gods unwavering care.
Text:
1. O God, give ear to my prayer and hide not thyself from me.
Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn.
The voice of my enemy oppresses me
My heart is sore pained for iniquity
the terrors of death are upon me but I will trust in thee.
2. O God, sweet council give
accompany me I pray for I call upon thee to save me, oh Lord.
Morning, noon, and at eventide I cry to thee,
Deliver my soul and give peace to me,
grief mischief and sorrow befall me but I will trust in thee.
3. O Lord, put forth thy hand depart not thyself from me.
Thy words shall comfort and soothe me, My God.
I shall cast all my burdens Lord upon thee,
and thou wilt sustain and pardon me
I will walk in thy cov'nant be side thee, ever I will trust in thee.
