The New Century Hymnal ‎#511

511. I Love My God, Who Heard My Cry

1 I love my God, who heard my cry
and pitied every groan.
Long as I live and troubles rise,
I'll hasten to God's throne.

2 I love my God, who heard my cry
and chased my grief away.
O let my heart no more despair
while I have breath to pray.
