O Thou, in Whose Presence -ghf277.mid - [Play Midi]

1. O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight
   On whom in affliction I call
   My comfort by day and my song in the night,
   My hope, my salvation, my all:

2. Where dost Thou, dear Shepherd, resort with Thy sheep,
   To feed them in pastures of love?
   Say, why in the valley of death should I weep,
   Or alone in this wilderness rove?

3. O why should I wander, an alien from Thee,
   Or cry in the desert for bread?
   Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see,
   And smile at the tears I have shed.

4. He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
   And myr-i-ads wait for His word;
   He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice,
   Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.

5. Dear Shepherd! I hear, and will follow Thy call;
   I know the sweet sound of Thy voice;
   Restore and defend me, for Thou are my all,
   And in Thee I will ever rejoice.
