Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul
Word by: Annie Steele
Music by: Kevin Twit
[Verse 1]
C G/B Am Am/G
Dear refuge of my weary soul,
F G C
On Thee, when sorrows rise
C G/B Am Am/G
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
F G C
My fainting hope relies
G C Dm Am
To Thee I tell each rising grief,
F G Dm G
For Thou alone canst heal
C G/B Am Am/G
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief,
F G C
For every pain I feel
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am Am/G
But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail,
F G C
I fear to call Thee mine
C G/B Am Am/G
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
F G C
And all my hopes decline
G C Dm Am
Yet gracious God, where shall I flee?
F G Dm G
Thou art my only trust
C G/B Am Am/G
And still my soul would cleave to Thee
F G C
Though prostrate in the dust
[Verse 3]
C G/B Am Am/G
Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face,
F G C
And shall I seek in vain?
C G/B Am Am/G
And can the ear of sovereign grace,
F G C
Be deaf when I complain?
G C Dm Am
No still the ear of sovereign grace,
F G Dm G
Attends the mourner's prayer
C G/B Am Am/G
Oh may I ever find access,
F G C
To breathe my sorrows there
[Verse 4]
C G/B Am Am/G
Thy mercy seat is open still,
F G C
Here let my soul retreat
C G/B Am Am/G
With humble hope attend Thy will,
F G C
And wait beneath Thy feet,
G C Dm Am
Thy mercy seat is open still,
F G Dm G
Here let my soul retreat
C G/B Am Am/G
With humble hope attend Thy will,
F G C
And wait beneath Thy feet
