Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength,
My rock, my tow'r, my high defense;
Thy mighty arm shall be my trust,
For I have found salvation thence.

Death, and the terrors of the grave,
Stood round me with their dismal shade;
While floods of high temptations rose,
And made my sinking soul afraid.

In my distress I called my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine:
He bowed his ear to my complaint;
And proved his saving grace divine—
He proved his saving grace divine.

I saw what seemed the gates of hell,
With endless pains and sorrows there,
Which none but they that feel can tell
While I was burdened with despair—
O I was burdened with despair

In my distress I called my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine:
He bowed his ear to my complaint;
And proved his saving grace divine—

In my distress I called my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine:
He bowed his ear to my complaint;
And proved his saving grace divine—
He proved his saving grace divine.

Great were my fears, my foes were great,
Much was their strength, and more their rage;
But Christ, my Lord, is conqu'ror still,
In all the wars the proud can wage.

Great were my fears, my foes were great,
Much was their strength, and more their rage;
But Christ, my Lord, is conqu'ror still,
In all the wars the proud can wage.

In my distress I called my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine:
He bowed his ear to my complaint;
And proved his saving grace divine—

My song forever shall record
That terrible, that joyful hour;
And give the glory to the Lord
Due to His mercy and his pow'r.
Due to His mercy and his pow'r.

In my distress I called my God
In my distress I called my God
In my distress I called my God
In my distress I called my God
