Hymnal: Great Revival Hymns No. 2 #131 (1913) First Line: O God, give ear unto my cry Refrain First Line: O, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I Lyrics: 1 O God, give ear unto my cry,
And to my pray’r attend;
Thou hast been a shelter for me.
From th’utmost corner of the land
My cry to Thee I send;
Thou hast been a shelter for me.
Refrain:
Oh, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I,
Lead me to the Rock, lead me to the Rock,
Oh, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I,
Thou hast been a shelter for me.
2 And when my heart is overwhelmed,
And in perplexity—
Thou hast been a shelter for me.
Do Thou me lead unto the Rock
That higher is than I—
Thou hast been a shelter for me. [Refrain]
For Thou hast for my refuge been
A shelter by Thy pow’r;
Thou hast been a shelter for me.
And for defence against my foes
Thou hast been my strong tow’r;
Thou hast been a shelter for me. [Refrain]
4 Within Thy tabernacle I
Forever will abide;
Thou hast been a shelter for me.
And under covert of Thy wings
With confidence will hide;
Thou hast been a shelter for me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O God, give ear unto my cry]
Thou Hast Been a Shelter for Me
