For I have nowhere else to fly;
My hope, my only hope’s in thee;
O God, be merciful to me!
2 To thee I come, a sinner poor,
And wait for mercy at thy door;
Indeed, I’ve nowhere else to flee;
O God, be merciful to me!
3 To thee I come, a sinner weak,
And scarce know how to pray or speak;
From fear and weakness set me free;
