Far over the earth, the heaven is high,

Yet the Lord hears me when to Him I cry.

He is my strength, He is my light;

His song shall be with me in the night.

’Though poor and needy, He thinketh of me;

I will rejoice when His mercy I see!

When my heart is troubled, He pleadeth my cause,

For I love His precepts, I delight in His laws!

’Though sometimes my weeping lasts all the night through,

Joy in the morning He giveth anew.

In the secret of His presence I have been hidden;

The device of the wicked my Lord hath forbidden.

I have found in the Lord the fountain of life,

And under His wings am I sheltered from strife;

I’ll be of good courage--He’ll forsake me never:

With all my heart will I love Him forever!
