Dear Refuge of my weary soul

Hebrews 4:14-16

So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.  This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Dear Refuge of my weary soul 

©1998 Kevin Twit Music. Words: Anne Steele. 

1. Dear refuge of my weary soul, 
On Thee, when sorrows rise 
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll, 
My fainting hope relies 
To Thee I tell each rising grief, 
For Thou alone canst heal 
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief, 
For every pain I feel

2. But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail, 
I fear to call Thee mine 
The springs of comfort seem to fail, 
And all my hopes decline 
Yet gracious God, where shall I flee? 
Thou art my only trust 
And still my soul would cleave to Thee 
Though prostrate in the dust

3. Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face, 
And shall I seek in vain? 
And can the ear of sovereign grace, 
Be deaf when I complain? 
No still the ear of sovereign grace, 
Attends the mourner's prayer 
Oh may I ever find access, 
To breathe my sorrows there

4. Thy mercy seat is open still, 
Here let my soul retreat 
With humble hope attend Thy will, 
And wait beneath Thy feet, 
Thy mercy seat is open still, 
Here let my soul retreat 
With humble hope attend Thy will, 
And wait beneath Thy feet

 

Prayer:

Lord be my strength, when I am weary.
Remind me again and again that I am yours,
that you have placed your holy Spirit within me
and that it is with the resurrection power at work within me that I live to serve you.
I pray for grace, as your child, that I may know you are my refuge in this day.
Amen
