Laudes Domini ‎#635

635. "Hearer of prayer"

1 O thou God, who hearest prayer
Every hour and everywhere!
For his sake, whose blood I plead,
Hear me in my hour of need;
Only hide not now thy face,
God of all-sufficient grace!

2 Leave me not, my strength, my trust;
Oh, remember I am dust:
Leave me not again to stray;
Leave me not the tempter's prey:
Fix my heart on things above;
Make me happy in thy love.

3 Hear and save me, gracious Lord!
For my trust is in thy word;
Wash me from the stain of sin,
That thy peace may rule within:
May I know myself thy child,
Ransomed, pardoned, reconciled.
