Psalms ‎#66b

66b. Praise to God for hearing Prayer

1 Now shall my solemn vows be paid
To that Almighty Pow'r,
That heard the long requests I made
In my distressful hour.

2 My lips and cheerful heart prepare
To make his mercies known:
Come ye that fear my God, and hear
The wonders he has done.

3 When on my head huge sorrows fell,
I sought the heav'nly aid;
He sav'd my sinking soul from hell,
And death's eternal shade.

4 If sin lay cover'd in my heart
While pray'r employ'd my tongue;
The Lord had shewn me no regard,
Nor I his praises sung.

5 But God (his name be ever blest)
Has set my spirit free;
Nor turn'd from him my poor request,
Nor turn'd his heart from me.
