Lonely In This World I Stand

Guard my eyes from evil, Lord Keep my ears from lies of old. Help me speak Your truth and love Tie my heart to Thine above. Lonely in this world I stand Longing for a helping hand. Darkness fills the hearts of men Like Daniel in a lions den, I lay my trust in Thee alone And all my troubles at Your throne. Keep my heart from sin's desire Cleanse me in Your flames of fire. Lead me down the narrow path Show me treasures heaven hath. Lonely in this world I stand Longing for the promised land. Love, no longer seeking here For perfect love doth cast out fear And hereby in this love I dwell That guards me in this passing hell.
