Lord
hear me when I pray
And answer me in grace;
Oft as I hear Thee say
Come ye and seek My face
My heart and lips their answer speak
Thy face
Jehovah
will I seek.
Hide not Thy face from me
In wrath turn not away
My help and Savior be
Forsake me not
I pray;
Should father
mother
both forsake
The Lord on me will pity take.
Teach me
O Lord
Thy way
Make plain to me my path
Because of foes
I pray
Protect me from their wrath;
To false accusers
cruel foes
O Lord
do not my soul expose.
Faint-hearted would I be
Didst Thou not promise
Lord
I shall Thy goodness see
While Thou dost life accord.
Wait on the Lord
nor faint
nor fear
Yea
trust and wait
the Lord is near.
