Fernando Ortega O Thou In Whose Presence Lyrics

O Thou In Whose Presence Lyrics

O Thou, in Whose presence my soul takes delight

On Whom in affliction I
call

My comfort by day, and my song in the night,

My hope, my
salvation, my all.



Where dost thou, dear Shepherd.

Resort
with thy sheep,

To feed them in pastures of love?

Say, why in the
valley of death should I weep,

Or alone in this wilderness rove?



Oh why should I wander, an alien from Thee,

Or cry in the
desert for bread?

Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see,

And smile at the tears I have shed.



He looks, and ten thousands
of angels rejoice,

And myriads wait for His word;

He speaks and
eternity, filled with His voice,

Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.



Dear Shepherd, I hear and will follow Thy call,

I know the
sweet sound of Thy voice.

Restore and defend me, for Thou art my all,

And in Thee I will ever rejoice.
