Hymn 88<br>
[[L.M.]]<br>
1. God of my life, to Thee I call,<br>
Afflicted at thy feet I fall;<br>
When the great water floods prevail,<br>
Leave not my trembling heart to fail.

2. Friend of the friendless and the faint,<br>
Where should I lodge my deep complaint!<br>
Where but with thee, whose open door<br>
Invites the helpless and the poor.

3. Did ever mourner plead with thee,<br>
And thou refuse that mourner's plea?<br>
Does not the word still fixed remain,<br>
That none shall seek thy face in vain?

4. That were a grief I could not bear,<br>
Didst thou not hear and answer prayer;<br>
But a prayer-hearing, answering God,<br>
Supports me under every load.

5. Fair is the lot that's cast for me;<br>
I have an advocate with thee:<br>
They whom the world caresses most<br>
Have no such privilege to boast.

6. Poor though I am, despised, forgot,<br>
Yet God, my God, forgets me not;<br>
And he is safe, and must succeed,<br>
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.
