The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5128

5128. O Lord, My God, for Thy Name's Sake

1. O Lord, my God, for Thy name’s sake
In mercy deal with me;
Because Thy kindness is so great,
From trouble set me free.

2. O Thou who art my Lord and God,
Thy gracious help extend,
And for Thy loving-kindness’ sake
O save me and defend.

3. My voice shall greatly bless the Lord
And sing His worthy praise,
And I amid the multitude
My thankful song shall raise.

4. The Lord be praised, for ever near
The helpless poor He stands,
Protecting them with wondrous power
From their oppressors’ hands.
