**“Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul”**
 By Anne Steele (1716-1778)

Dear refuge of my weary soul,
 On Thee, when sorrows rise On Thee, when waves of
trouble roll, My fainting hope relies To Thee I tell each rising grief, For Thou
alone canst heal Thy Word can bring a sweet relief, For every pain I feel

But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail,
 I fear to call Thee mine The springs of comfort
seem to fail, And all my hopes decline Yet gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou
art my only trust And still my soul would cleave to Thee Though prostrate in the
dust

Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face,
 And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of
sovereign grace, Be deaf when I complain? No still the ear of sovereign grace, Attends
the mourner’s prayer Oh may I ever find access, To breathe my sorrows there

Thy mercy seat is open still,
 Here let my soul retreat With humble hope attend 
Thy will, And wait beneath Thy feet, Thy mercy seat is open still, Here let my soul
retreat With humble hope attend Thy will, And wait beneath Thy feet.
