I’ll do a few more Lenny Smith songs before venturing elsewhere. This is a fine adaptation of Psalm 42:5-11 and a sung prayer for times of distress.
The sheet music can be purchased here.
1 Hope thou in God, O my soul, why so weary?
Yet praise your God for the help of his presence.
Yet praise your God for the help of his presence.
2 Deep calls to deep at the sound of thy waters.
All thy waves and breakers have rolled over me.
And that’s when I remember, oh I remember thee.
3 I will say to God, “Why have you forgotten me?
And why do I go mourning while they revile me?
Why do I go mourning while they revile me?”
Rpt verse 1.
