Lord, Hear Me When I Pray

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.
