Methodist-Hymns-024
1: O GOD my strength and fortitude,
In truth I will love Thee;
Thou art my castle and defence
In my necessity.
2: When I beset with pain and grief,
Prayed to my God for grace,
Forthwith my God heard my com-plaint
Out of His holy place.
3: The Lord descended from above,
And bowed the heavens high,
And underneath His feet He cast
The darkness of the sky.
4: On cherub and on cherubim
Full royally He rode;
And on the wings of all the winds
Came flying all abroad.
5: He brought me forth in open place,
That so I might be free;
And kept me safe, because He had
A favour unto me.
6: Unspotted are the ways of God,
His word is truly tried;
He is a sure defence to such
As in His ways abide.
