7986. Hear Thou My Prayer

1 All-seeing, gracious Lord—
My heart before Thee lies;
All sin of thought and life abhorred,
My soul to Thee would rise.

Refrain:
Hear Thou my prayer, O God,
Unite my heart to Thee;
Beneath Thy love, beneath Thy rod,
From sin deliver me.

2 Thou knowest all my need,
My inmost thought dost see;
Ah, Lord! from all allurements freed,
Like Thee transformed I’d be. [Refrain]

3 Thou holy blessèd One,
To me, I pray, draw near;
My spirit fill, O heavenly Son,
With loving, Godly fear. [Refrain]

4 Bind Thou my life to Thine,
To me Thy life is given;
While I my all to Thee resign,
Thou art my all in Heaven. [Refrain]
