48. Hear My Words, O Gracious Lord

1 Hear my words, O gracious Lord,
To my thoughts attentive be;
Hear my cry, my King, my God,
I will make my prayer to Thee.

2 With the morning light, O Lord,
Thou shalt hear my voice arise,
And expectant I will bring
Prayer as morning sacrifice.

3 Thou art holy, O my God,
Thou delightest not in sin;
Evil shall not dwell with Thee,
Nor the proud Thy favor win.

4 In the fullness of Thy grace
To Thy house I will repair;
Bowing toward Thy holy place,
In Thy fear will worship there.

Amen.
