Why, My Soul, Are You So Downcast? (Psalm 43)


words: Gary Hicks, copyright 2010 Gary L. Hicks
tune: Swedish folk melody "Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara"
("Children of the Heavenly Father")

Why, my soul, are you so downcast,
So disturbed and sad within me?
Put your hope in God our Saviour
He is worthy of our praises.

You are God, my rugged stronghold
My defense and my deliverer
Rescue me, O faithful Saviour
Vindicate me, O my Father!

Send Your light and hope to lead me,
Bring me to Your holy mountain
How I long to know Your presence,
Feel Your glory all around me.

Now I come to You, my Saviour,
My delight and joy forever
With my whole heart I sing praises
All my crowns I cast before You.
