Lord, Thou Shalt Early Hear

lyricist: Scottish Psalter, 1650
Composer: Samuel Stanley, 1796

Lord

Thou shalt ear­ly hear my voice:

I ear­ly will di­rect

My pray­er to Thee; and look­ing up

An an­swer will ex­pect.

For Thou art not a God that doth

In wick­ed­ness de­light;

Neither shall ev­il dwell with Thee

Nor fools stand in Thy sight.

But I in­to Thy house will come

In Thine abun­dant grace;

And I will wor­ship in Thy fear

Toward Thy ho­ly place.

Let all that trust in Thee be glad

With joy lift up their voice;

Because Thou sav­est them; let all

That love Thy name re­joice.
