Hear Thou My Pray'r, O Lord

Hear Thou my pray'r, O Lord, And listen to my cry; Remember now Thy faithful word, And graciously reply.

Do not in judgement rise Thy servant's life to scan, For righteous in Thy spotless eyes Is found no living man.

I stretch my longing hands Toward Thy holy place, With soul a thirst, like weary lands, For Thy refreshing grace.

Haste Thee, O Lord, I pray My failing heart to save! Hide not Thy face; I droop as they That sink into the grave.

Thy mercy's early light My faith desires to see; O let me walk before Thy sight! I lift my soul to Thee.

Let Thy good Spirit lead My feet in righteous ways: And for Thy name's sake, Lord, my head Above my troubles raise.
