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.
