William Cowper - Olney Hymn 38: Looking Upwards In A Storm
Work rating: Low

God of my life, to Thee I call, 
Afflicted at Thy feet I fall; 
When the great water-floods prevail, 
Leave not my trembling heart to fail! 

Friend of the friendless and the faint, 
Where should I lodge my deep complaint, 
Where but with Thee, whose open door 
Invites the helpless and the poor! 

Did ever mourner plead with Thee, 
And Thou refuse the mourner`s plea? 
Does not the word still fix`d remain, 
That none shall seek Thy face in vain? 

That were a grief I could not bear, 
Didst Thou not hear and answer prayer: 
But a prayer-hearing, answering God 
Supports me under every load. 

Fair is the lot that`s cast for me; 
I have an Advocate with Thee; 
They whom the world caresses most 
Have no such privilege to boast. 

Poor though I am, despised, forgot, 
Yet God, my God, forgets me not: 
And he is safe, and must succeed, 
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.
