Defend the fa­ther­less,
Then shall the path be bright­er,
In His mer­cy now re­joice
A tem­pest loud and wild;
Let hearts of all His child­ren
Through Him we pray for all we love,
Hear the bless­èd Sav­ior
Hear the bless­èd Sav­ior
Tossed on the wide tem­pes­tu­ous sea,
In my weak days are al­ways two,
Behold our dy­ing grain:
Come to the de­so­late,
Nor make His pro­mise vain.
I am com­ing to Thee, Sav­ior,
Lord, I be­lieve; help Thou my un­be­lief.
Come un­to Me, all ye who mourn,
I’ll be a voice for the Mas­ter,
There is joy among the an­gels,

op­pressed

That they by hu­man pride and pow­er
Firm in our pur­pose, true in our mo­tives,
Come, ac­cept His love to­day,
That I might be too late;
To praise Him, call Him Fa­ther,
For souls de­part­ed in Thy fear:
O ye hea­vy la­den,
O ye hea­vy la­den,
How wel­come must the har­bor be,
O Thou whose deeds and dreams were one!
And groans for want of rain.
Come to the brok­en heart
Are saved by His de­cree;
For I need Thy sav­ing mer­cy,
I smite my breast; be mer­ci­ful to me;
Resign to Me the will­ing heart,
Guiding the feet of the wea­ry
To the Sav­ior turns re­pent­ing,
