Bow Down Thine Ear, O Lord, and Hear

Bow down Thine ear

O Lord

and hear

For I am poor and great my need;

Preserve my soul

for Thee I fear;

O God

Thy trust­ing serv­ant heed.

O Lord

be mer­ci­ful to me

For all the day to Thee I cry;

Rejoice Thy serv­ant

for to Thee

I lift my soul

O Lord most high.

For Thou

O Lord

art good and kind

And rea­dy to for­give Thou art;

Abundant mer­cy they shall find

Who call on Thee with all their heart.

O Lord

in­cline Thy ear to me

My voice of sup­pli­ca­tion heed;

In trou­ble I will cry to Thee

For Thou wilt an­swer when I plead.

There is no God but Thee alone

Nor works like Thine

O Lord most high;

All na­tions shall sur­round Thy throne

And their cre­at­or glo­ri­fy.

In all Thy deeds how great Thou art!

Thou one true God

Thy way make clear;

Teach me with un­di­vid­ed heart

To trust Thy truth

Thy name to fear.
