O God, Defender of the Poor
Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #890 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Lift Up Your Hearts Lyrics: 1 O God, defender of the poor,
have mercy when I pray:
you listened to my prayer before–
LORD, hear my prayer today.
2 How long will people choose vain things,
love empty words and wrong?
They scorn to serve the King of kings–
O living God, how long?
3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart
by grace to be your own:
let sinners tremble, search their hearts,
and bow before your throne.
4 While many pray that you will bless
and bring them all they need,
unless they long for holiness,
their prayers are vain in deed.
5 Your light, O LORD, let us receive;
your face within us shine,
for richer is the joy you give
than all their grain and wine.
6 And even when I turn to sleep
your blessings still increase,
for you alone, O LORD, will keep
your child in perfect peace.
